restat-tables-figures
Use when building or revising the exhibits of a The Review of Economics and Statistics (REStat) manuscript so the main result is legible in one table or figure in AEA/REStat house style. Designs publication-grade exhibits; it does not run the underlying estimation.

# Tables & Figures (restat-tables-figures)
## When to trigger
- The main result is buried across several dense tables instead of one clear exhibit
- Tables lack self-contained notes (a reader must hunt the text for the spec)
- Figures are decorative rather than load-bearing, or omit uncertainty
- You are preparing exhibits for the online appendix vs the main paper
## The REStat exhibit bar
A REStat reader should grasp the **headline estimate from one main exhibit** — a table or, increasingly, an event-study / RD / coefficient-stability figure with a confidence band. REStat follows **standard economics house style**: significance **stars are permitted**, but **standard errors are expected in parentheses** and the exhibit must stand on its own. Every table and figure carries a **self-contained note** stating the sample, the specification, the unit of observation, the inference (clustering level), and what the reader should take away. The main paper is **self-contained**; supporting detail goes to the **online appendix (≤20 pages; source map refreshed 2026-06-20)**.
