Individual skill
jpube-tables-figures
Use when designing the exhibits for a Journal of Public Economics (JPubE) manuscript — bunching density plots, event-study and RD/RKD graphs, incidence and distributional figures, and self-contained tables. Makes the public-finance design visible; it does not run the analysis (use jpube-data-analysis).

# Tables & Figures (jpube-tables-figures)
## When to trigger
- The identifying variation is buried in a regression table instead of shown in a graph
- A bunching, RD, or event-study result has no picture
- Tables are dense, under-noted, or not callable in order
- You need exhibits that make a policy elasticity legible to a referee
## Why figure-forward at JPubE
JPubE's identification often *is* a picture — a spike of excess mass at a tax kink, a jump at an eligibility cutoff, a clean break at a reform date. Because referees are public-finance specialists assessing design credibility, **the headline of a JPubE empirical paper is frequently one transparent graph** that lets the reader see the response before any regression. Build exhibits so the design is self-evident.
