Individual skill
jar-tables-figures
Use when finalizing the descriptive, results, and identification exhibits for a Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) manuscript — the summary-statistics table, correlation matrix, main regression tables, and identification plots that an empirical-archival accounting paper lives or dies on. Builds the exhibits; it does not run the estimation (jar-data-analysis) or polish prose (jar-writing-style).

# Tables & Figures (jar-tables-figures)
## When to trigger
- Tables are cluttered, inconsistent, or not self-explanatory
- A referee cannot tell the sample, units, or SE clustering from the table notes
- You need the standard JAR exhibit set assembled in house style
- Identification needs a figure (pre-trends, RD plot) to be believed
## The standard JAR exhibit set
An empirical-archival JAR paper is read through its tables. Build, in order:
1. **Sample construction table** — from the raw population to the final N, line by line, with each screen and the observations lost. Referees expect to trace the sample.
