finman-tables-figures

Use when building or revising the exhibits of a Financial Management (FM) manuscript so the main finance result and its economic magnitude are legible at a glance and respect Wiley/finance house norms. Formats exhibits; it does not establish the result (finman-identification / finman-robustness) or write the surrounding prose.

# Tables & Figures (finman-tables-figures)

## When to trigger

- The main result is settled and must be made readable at a glance
- Tables are dense, over-decimaled, or bury the headline coefficient among a dozen columns
- An event-study / first-stage / portfolio-sort plot needs to carry the design visually
- You are preparing exhibits for the FMA→ScholarOne submission and want them house-style clean

## The FM exhibit bar

FM's brand is "articles that people actually read," and that taste extends to the tables. The main causal or economic estimate should be **findable in seconds**, and — because FM weighs **practical relevance** — every headline exhibit should make the **economic magnitude** legible, not just the t-statistic. Finance house style permits **significance stars but requires standard errors** in parentheses; report the **dependent-variable mean** so a reader can scale the coefficient into a managerial quantity. The journal's "less weight on trivial robustness" stance also shapes the exhibit set: do not pad the main paper with specification-sweep tables — promote the one headline table and the one identification figure, and demote the rest.
