aejmac-tables-figures
Use when building or revising exhibits for an American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) manuscript — impulse-response figures, fan charts, model-fit overlays, and regression/moment tables — to AEA house standards and macro conventions. Formatting and clarity; it does not generate the underlying estimates.

# Tables & Figures (aejmac-tables-figures)
## When to trigger
- IRF figures lack confidence bands, units, or a clear horizon axis
- Tables are dense, mislabeled, or report coefficients without the macro quantity of interest
- A model-fit comparison (data vs. simulated moments) is asserted in text but not shown
- Exhibits do not stand alone — the reader needs the body text to decode them
## The AEJ: Macro exhibits bar
AEJ: Macro follows **AEA house style** (applied by the AEA at copyediting; the submitted PDF need not pre-conform, but clean exhibits speed review). Macro adds its own conventions: the **impulse-response function** is the workhorse figure, and the **headline quantity** (multiplier, peak response, welfare cost, share of variance) must be readable off the exhibit. Every exhibit should be **self-contained**: title, axis labels with units and horizon, sample, and the inference object (bands / SE) in the note.
