Individual skill
ier-tables-figures
Use when exhibits in an International Economic Review (IER) manuscript are dense, do not carry the argument, or do not present structural/theory results well. Makes each exhibit answer one question; it does not generate the data.

# Tables and Figures (ier-tables-figures)
## When to trigger
- A reader cannot tell from a table alone what claim it supports
- A structural paper's parameter table lists estimates but not what identifies them or their precision
- A theory paper has no figure making the mechanism or comparative static visible
- Regression tables are wall-to-wall coefficients with significance stars and no economic magnitudes
- Exhibits must fit the ≤50-page IER ceiling and are crowding out the argument
## What IER exhibits must do
IER exhibits serve a **rigor-leaning, broad audience**, so each one must answer a single question and make the *economics* — not just the statistics — legible. For a theory/structural-tilted journal, the most valuable exhibits are often the ones that make a mechanism or a comparative static visible, and the parameter table that shows the model is disciplined by data. Sort your exhibits by their job:
