- You need to convince a reader of a finding without a regression table in the body
JEP communicates evidence through intuition, well-chosen numbers, and honest caveats, not through equations and estimation tables in the body. The credibility comes from which evidence you feature, how clearly you convey magnitude, and how honestly you state limits — not from displaying machinery. A JEP reader should finish a paragraph knowing the size of an effect, how sure the field is, and what could be wrong.
jep-balance-and-objectivity.A draft says: "The treatment effect is 0.184 log points (s.e. 0.061), significant at the 1% level (***)." A JEP rewrite drops the asterisks and the raw coefficient: "Workers in the program earned about 20% more a year later — an effect large enough to matter for a household budget, and one that a dozen studies in different settings find consistently, though the gains fade after a few years." The reader now has magnitude in feelable units, a sense of how settled it is (many consistent studies), and the key caveat (fading) — all without an equation or a star.
