# Internet Appendix (jfe-internet-appendix)

## When to trigger

- Robustness tables, proofs, and extra derivations are crowding the main text
- The main text exceeds a readable length and you must triage exhibits
- A referee asks for many additional tests you cannot fit in the body
- You need every main-text claim that says "untabulated" or "in the appendix" to actually land somewhere

## Why the Internet Appendix matters at JFE

JFE hosts an Internet Appendix where exhaustive robustness, proofs, additional tests, and detailed methodology live. Given JFE's robustness-heavy culture, a deep, well-organized appendix is expected — it is where the "every alternative ruled out" work is documented without making the main paper unreadable.

**JFE specifics (verify on jfinec.com):** the journal's submission instructions ask that any online/internet appendix be **attached to the end of the main manuscript file** at submission, rather than uploaded as a wholly separate document. Number it as its own IA series regardless. Keep the Internet Appendix conceptually distinct from the **replication package** (code + non-proprietary data deposited to Mendeley Data at acceptance, mandatory for papers submitted on/after 1 July 2021) — the appendix holds *results and proofs*, the deposit holds *code and data*.
