Two schools of thought about what to do with rejection comments: 1) Do nothing, you'll get a different reviewer draw next time, or 2) Fix what you can fix, you might draw (some of) the same reviewers. I went from the former to the latter during my career; it definitely pays off.

One important difference between Econ and Ag Econ—in the former, the fact you got paid as an RA means you are unlikely to be a coauthor. In the latter, probably inspired by the colleges of life sciences Ag Econ depts live in, RAs often become coauthors.

A mathematician friend sent this. I have only skimmed the paper, but if this works the way the author describes, it seems like it could be useful when using an IV design.

Tell me you haven't set foot in a college classroom in decades without telling me you haven't set foot in a college classroom in decades. Also, what baffling disdain for the intelligence of young people.

@PHuenermund Because of our pre-Vatican II mentality, whereby if we do the econ equivalent of saying mass in Latin it'll increase muh prestige and make us look more rigorous when, in fact, it only erects entry barriers.

I know it's a crazy idea, and bear with me in this hypothetical, but what if editors did their jobs and made up their own damn minds by reading reviewers' comments and adjudicating between them instead of acting as bean counters who are only happy when all reviewers say "Accept"?

@marcfbellemare Just about the time I waited for a rejection decision from one of the journals - apparently because reviewer 1 recommendation differs from reviewer 2 and it would take forever to find reviewer 3
