- Tables are overloaded with columns; the reader cannot find the economic point
A JPE table or figure should be self-contained and economically legible: a referee skimming exhibits should grasp the result, the magnitude, and what it means. As a University of Chicago Press journal, JPE typesets accepted exhibits to Chicago Press production standards — no chartjunk, no gratuitous color, units and economic magnitudes front and center. Every exhibit must also be regenerated by the master script in the JPE Dataverse replication deposit, so the numbers in the paper and the numbers the code produces must match exactly when the JPE Data Editor verifies them at conditional accept (see jpe-replication-package). The headline result usually deserves a figure (an event-study plot, a fit-of-model plot, a counterfactual) because magnitudes and dynamics read faster than a coefficient.
