jpe-robustness

separate

Use when the main result of a Journal of Political Economy (JPE) manuscript rests on a single specification and you need to pre-empt the alternative-explanation and fragility objections a Chicago referee will raise. Builds the robustness battery and the falsification logic; it does not establish the primary identification (see jpe-identification).

When to use

• pre-empting alternative-explanation objections
• pre-empting fragility objections
• building the robustness battery
• building the falsification logic
• specification robustness
• mechanism discrimination
• external validity
• structural validity

When not to use

• establishing the primary identification
