restud-tables-figures

Use when the exhibits in a The Review of Economic Studies (REStud) manuscript need to be made publication-grade — regression tables that are oversized or footnote-bloated, or figures that do not carry the result. Finalizes exhibits to REStud house standard; does not run the underlying analysis.

# REStud Tables & Figures (restud-tables-figures)

## When to trigger

- A main table has more columns than a reader can hold in mind (≳ 6)
- Tables carry default software output (stars only, no economic-magnitude reading)
- The central result is buried in a table when a figure would carry it
- Figures are raster (PNG) rather than vector, or lack a self-contained notes block
- Notation, units, or sample counts are inconsistent across exhibits

## REStud exhibit principles

REStud values **elegance and economy**, and that extends to exhibits. Two REStud-specific facts: (1) auxiliary exhibits go in the **online appendix**, so the main-text figure budget is tight — promote only the exhibits that carry the contribution; (2) every published exhibit must map to a line in the deposited code, because the **Data Editor regenerates tables and figures from your replication package before publication** (AEA DCAS check; see `restud-replication-package`) — so script your exhibits, never hand-edit them. The standard:
