aeri-referee-strategy

separate

Use when calibrating expectations for the fast, decisive American Economic Review: Insights (AER: Insights) review process — conditional-accept-or-reject decisions, the single-round model, and pre-empting the objections a short paper cannot afford. Explains the process and stress-tests the paper; it does not write the response letter (see aeri-rebuttal).

When to use

• Understanding how AER: Insights decides
• Deciding if a paper can survive without traditional R&R
• Anticipating objections that would sink a short paper
• Choosing between AER: Insights and journals with multiple rounds
• Stress-testing the paper design
• Pre-empting objections before submission

When not to use

• Writing the response letter
