ecopol-robustness

separate

Use when an Economic Policy (EP) manuscript's results may be specification-, sample-, or inference-fragile, especially ahead of the two-discussant panel. Organizes robustness by the threat a discussant will raise; it does not invent evidence or citations.

When to use

• Economic Policy manuscript robustness
• Specification-fragile results
• Sample-fragile results
• Inference-fragile results
• Pre-empting discussant objections
• Defending policy-relevant magnitude
• Few-cluster inference correction
• Pre-trends sensitivity analysis

When not to use

• Inventing evidence
• Inventing citations
• Mechanical appendix of alternative specifications
• Defending only statistical significance
• Hiding fragility
