- You want to know what happens after you press submit at JPubE
jpube-rebuttal for crafting the substance.)What lands in your inbox, and what each outcome implies for a public-finance paper.
| Outcome | What it means | Your move |
|---|---|---|
| Desk reject | Editor judged fit/contribution below bar before review | Re-route (jpube-topic-selection) or strengthen welfare framing |
| Reject after review | Specialists found a design or welfare gap | Appeal only on a clear error; else resubmit elsewhere |
| Major revision | Contribution viable; identification/welfare needs work | Route fundamentals to identification/data skills, then rebuttal |
| Minor revision | Close; clarifications and exhibits | Tighten, document, return promptly |
| Accept | — | Confirm data-availability and final source files |
A bunching paper is rejected; two specialist reports agree the excess-mass counterfactual is the weak point, while one aside claims "the elasticity (e = 0.4, illustrative) is implausibly high." The author wants to appeal the second remark. The review-process read: the binding objection is the counterfactual, which is a substantive design judgment, not a factual or procedural error — so it is not appeal-eligible. The single appeal is reserved; the better path is to rebuild the counterfactual and resubmit (or send elsewhere), not to spend the one-shot appeal contesting taste.
