AER Table Formatting

Rewrite R table-producing scripts to output AER-compliant LaTeX tables with PDF preview.

Constraints

NEVER change table content: which variables, statistics, columns, or samples are reported.

CAN change R packages and formatting code.

MUST preserve all analysis/estimation code upstream of the table.

MUST ensure all required packages are loaded (library() calls).

Workflow

Read the user's R script completely.

Identify table type using the detection table below.

Identify content: variables, statistics, models, labels, notes, panels.

Rewrite formatting using templates from references/r-code-patterns.md.

Apply rules from references/aer-style-guide.md.

Output .tex file via save_tt() or etable(..., file=).

Add PDF preview using preview_tex() helper from references/r-code-patterns.md.

Verify all required library() calls are present.

Table Type Detection

Signal

Type

Package

feols() / feglm() / fepois() models

Regression

fixest::etable + style.tex("aer")

lm() / glm() / felm() / plm() / other models

Regression

modelsummary + tinytable

Mean / SD / min / max / quantile summaries

Summary stats

modelsummary::datasummary + tinytable

Treatment vs. control group comparison

Balance table

modelsummary::datasummary_balance + tinytable

Manual data frame → table

Custom

tinytable::tt()

Quick Reference

Rules: Three horizontal lines only (top, header-sep, bottom). No vertical lines.

Stars: * 10%, ** 5%, *** 1% — on coefficients only, never on SEs.

SEs: In parentheses, line below coefficient. Type stated in notes.

Decimals: Coefficients/SEs/R² = 3; N = integer with commas.

Labels: Readable English. Interactions: $\times$ . Logs: prefix Log.

Headers: Model numbers (1), (2), etc. Dep var as spanning header.

Notes: Below bottom rule, \footnotesize. "Notes:" italic, then SE type, stars, source.

Output: .tex file + standalone PDF preview via preview_tex().
