jfe-tables-figures
Use when the exhibits of a Journal of Financial Economics (JFE) manuscript need to meet house standards — readable tables, self-contained notes, and figures that carry the argument. Handles exhibit craft; it does not decide which robustness tests to run (jfe-robustness).

# Tables & Figures (jfe-tables-figures)
## When to trigger
- A main table has so many columns no reader can parse it
- Table notes do not let a reader understand the table without the text
- Standard errors / t-stats are reported inconsistently across tables
- Figures are decorative rather than carrying part of the argument
- You are deciding what stays in the main text vs. the Internet Appendix
## JFE exhibit standards
JFE tables are dense but disciplined. Each main exhibit should make one clear point and be self-contained: a reader should grasp it from the title, column headers, and notes alone. Because JFE papers are long and robustness-heavy, ruthless triage between main-text and Internet-Appendix exhibits is part of the craft. The overflow goes to the online appendix that JFE asks you to **append to the end of the main manuscript file** (see jfe-internet-appendix). Manuscripts are submitted **double-spaced, 12-pt+, with >= 1-inch margins**, so dense tables must still read at that scale. Verify current formatting on jfinec.com.
