aejpol-tables-figures

Use when building or revising exhibits for an AEJ: Economic Policy manuscript so they meet AEA house style and carry the policy message — no significance asterisks, a self-contained headline exhibit, and figures that show the policy effect with uncertainty. Designs exhibits; it does not run the estimation or write the surrounding prose.

# Tables & Figures — Exhibits that Carry the Policy Message (aejpol-tables-figures)

## When to trigger

- Tables are dense, over-decorated with significance stars, or hard to read
- The paper lacks one exhibit a reader could take away as the policy result
- Figures show coefficients but not the policy-relevant magnitude or its uncertainty
- You are preparing the final exhibit set for an AEA submission

## AEA / AEJ: Policy exhibit norms

- **Report standard errors (or confidence intervals), not significance asterisks/boldface.** Put SEs in parentheses below estimates; the reader judges significance from the SE/CI. This is the house convention to follow.
- **Self-contained.** Title and notes let an exhibit be read without the text: sample, units, estimator, clustering level, what is controlled, and what the number means in policy terms.
- **Self-contained, not anonymized.** Review is single-blind, so exhibits need not hide authorship; keep notes clean and neutral (avoid stray local file paths) for readability, not for blinding.
