From jfi-skills
Designs exhibits for JFI papers: summary tables, main results with FE progression, event-study figures, and robustness grids. Useful when building or revising a submission's table/figure set.

- Building or revising the table/figure set for a JFI submission
JFI exhibits are read by banking and intermediation specialists, so they must be self-contained and institution-aware:
Number exhibits and call them out in order; numbered manuscript sections (1, 1.1) host them. Notes should name the estimator, sample, clustering, and significance markers. There is no fixed exhibit count, but optional Highlights are capped at 3-5 bullets of 85 characters each.
| # | Exhibit | The job it does for a JFI referee |
|---|---|---|
| T1 | Sample construction: register universe → multi-bank firms | Lets the reader reconstruct the sample and see what firm×time FE costs |
| T2 | Bank and firm summaries by exposure | Balance: treated and control banks comparable pre-shock |
| T3 | Main: loan growth on the shock; columns no FE → firm FE → firm×time FE | The supply channel, with demand absorption visible across columns |
| F1 | Event study around the rule change | Pre-trends plus dynamics — often the single decisive exhibit |
| T4 | Mechanism heterogeneity: relationship intensity, bank capital | Shows the intermediation channel, not generic credit tightening |
| T5 | Compact robustness grid, one row per named threat | The battery without appendix sprawl |
| F2 | Real effects: firm outcomes by exposure | The consequence panel that earns the policy sentence |
The fixed-effect column progression in T3 is a JFI-native convention: the coefficient's movement across columns is itself evidence on sorting and demand, so interpret it in the text. If T4's heterogeneity is the contribution's heart, consider promoting it ahead of the robustness grid — exhibit order should mirror the argument, not the order the regressions were run.
Accepted empirical papers in this literature typically run on the order of six to nine main-text exhibits with further robustness in an online appendix; theory papers often carry two to four comparative-statics figures. These are reading-based calibrations — no cap is stated; confirm formatting specifics against the journal's current author guidelines.
【Sample table】source + filters + units documented? [Y/N]
【Main table】FE structure + clustering visible? [Y/N]
【Dynamics figure】event-study/comparative-statics present? [Y/N]
【Notes】self-contained (estimator, sample, SE)? [Y/N]
