Use when building the Monte Carlo tables and theory-illustrating figures for a Journal of Econometrics (JoE) manuscript. Covers size/power table conventions, estimator-comparison layout, and figures that make asymptotic and finite-sample behavior legible.

# Tables & Figures (joe-tables-figures)

## When to trigger

- Monte Carlo results exist but the tables are dense, unlabeled, or hard to compare across methods
- Size and power are mixed into one block so distortion is invisible
- Figures show output but not the *behavior* the theorems predict (rates, coverage, distributions)
- You are formatting exhibits for a PDF-only initial submission and want them print-legible

## What JoE exhibits must do

At the *Journal of Econometrics* the exhibits are the **empirical backbone of a methods paper**: they have to let a referee verify, at a glance, that the estimator is well-behaved and the test controls size. Initial submission is a **single PDF** (~40 pages, ≥1.5 spacing, 11pt), so tables and figures must be readable inline at that density; structured formatting and source files are handled at revision/acceptance. Build self-contained exhibits whose notes state the DGP, sample sizes, replication count, and nominal level.
