aeja-robustness

separate

Use when an American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (AEJ: Applied) manuscript's headline estimate must be shown to survive specification, sample, and inference choices before submission or in an R&R. Builds the robustness suite a sophisticated referee expects; it does not establish the primary identification (aeja-identification) or format the exhibits (aeja-tables-figures).

When to use

• showing headline estimates survive specification choices
• addressing referee questions on robustness
• testing sensitivity to bandwidth or clustering
• pre-empting specification-search concerns
• mapping threats to specific robustness checks
• stress-testing inference methods
• applying multiple-hypothesis adjustments

When not to use

• establishing primary identification
• formatting exhibits
