wber-tables-figures
Use when building the exhibits for a The World Bank Economic Review (WBER) manuscript so they read cleanly for a mixed economist + policymaker audience, fit the 40-page cap, and carry the policy magnitude. Designs and audits tables/figures; it does not run the analysis or write the prose.

# Tables and Figures (wber-tables-figures)
## When to trigger
- Tables are dense regression dumps a policymaker cannot read
- Significance is shown with asterisks instead of standard errors / confidence intervals
- Effect sizes are reported only in coefficient units, not policy-meaningful magnitudes
- Exhibits are pushing the paper over the 40-page total cap
- An event-study or treatment effect is buried in a table when a figure would carry it
## The WBER exhibit standard
WBER exhibits serve **two readers at once**: the applied economist who checks the design and the practitioner who wants the magnitude and its policy meaning. The best WBER tables and figures make the headline effect legible in *policy units* — percentage-point change in enrollment, dollars of consumption, cost per outcome — not just a coefficient. And remember the **40-page total cap includes tables, figures, references, and appendices**: every exhibit competes for scarce space, so each must earn its place. Lead with the design (balance, first stage, pre-trends) and then the effect; do not bury the main result in column 6 of a kitchen-sink table.
