jue-tables-figures

Use when the exhibits of a Journal of Urban Economics (JUE) manuscript must make the spatial pattern visible — maps, event-study plots, RD/boundary figures, and clean regression tables. Designs the spatial exhibits a JUE referee expects; it does not run the analysis (jue-robustness) or write the prose (jue-writing-style).

# Spatial Exhibits: Maps, Tables & Figures (jue-tables-figures)

## When to trigger

- The paper has a spatial result but **no map** — the reader cannot see where the variation is
- A boundary/RD or event-study design is in tables only; the figure that would convince is missing
- Tables are dense with controls and the headline coefficient is hard to find
- The geography of treatment vs control is described in words, not shown
- Reviewers cannot tell whether the spatial pattern is real or an artifact of the units chosen

## Maps earn their place — but only when they carry information

JUE is one of the few economics journals where a **map is often the central exhibit**, because the identifying variation is geographic. But a map must do econometric work, not decorate:
