ecta-referee-strategy

separate

Use to red-team an Econometrica manuscript before submission and to anticipate co-editor and referee objections — proof gaps, generality, missing finite-sample evidence, and competing methods. Predicts and pre-empts attacks; it does not draft the response letter after reports arrive (use ecta-rebuttal).

When to use

• Red-teaming Econometrica manuscripts
• Anticipating referee objections
• Identifying proof gaps
• Assessing generality claims
• Checking finite-sample evidence
• Evaluating competing methods
• Planning presentation choices
• Suggesting referees

When not to use

• Drafting the response letter after reports arrive
