Find it here, I have yet to read this one but recommended as always.  Here is blogger John Quiggin saying "who cares what you think?", the perennial question for us all.

Sounds like a typical high school exchange. The next reply should read “obviously you care enough to write me an email”. Then Quiggin would reply “well obviously my article was relevant enough for you to read”. And then he said, and he replied and so on and so forth until mother picks them up in an SUV.

Hilary Hoynes is *extremely* kind in her response to what is quite clearly and article that never should have been published. Those in charge of the editorial process at EJW should be pretty red-faced at publishing something that leaves out the income effect as well as key papers in the literature. Yikes!

Dear Jeff Smith:

As editor of EJW, I’d like to take this opportunity to say to whoever might be reading:

I believe that an editorial policy that gives leeway to substantial scholarly criticism and rebuttal yields social benefits.

We at EJW don’t want to publish just any criticism, but our editorial posture is not that of endorsing whatever criticism appears.

JS Mill said that inviting, hearing, and publicly answering criticism is a good way to test our confidence in ideas.

Commented-on authors are always invited to reply, and with full assurance that their reply will appear exactly as they wish it to be. Also, they are always given the opportunity to have the last word.
