jae-tables-figures
Use when building the exhibits for a Journal of Accounting and Economics (JAE) manuscript — variable-definition appendix, sample-construction table, descriptive statistics and correlations, regression tables with clustered standard errors, and event-study/DiD figures — in Elsevier house style so each exhibit is self-contained and reproducible.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Tables & Figures for JAE (jae-tables-figures) ## When to trigger - Regression output is pasted in raw and not yet reader-ready - Tables do not state the sample, the SE clustering, or variable definitions - A reviewer cannot tell which coefficients are the test of the hypothesis - You need a variable-definition appendix or a sample-waterfall table ## The standard JAE exhibit set Archival JAE papers carry a recognizable table sequence; build it deliberately: 1. **Variable definitions** (often an appendix): every variable, its construction, and the data source (Compustat/CRSP/I/B/E/S/Execucomp/DealScan/Audit Analytics). Reviewers check this first. 2. **Sample construction**: the waterfall from population to final N with counts at each exclusion. 3. **Descriptive statistics**: N, mean, median, SD, and key percentiles; note winsorization (e.g., 1%/99%). 4. **Correlation matrix**: Pearson (and often Spearman) correlations among main variables. 5. **Main regressions**: the hypothesis tests, with the coefficient of interest visually identifiable. 6. **Cross-sectional / mechanism tables**: partitions showing the effect concentrates where the friction is severe. 7. **Robustness tables**: a

What does the jae-tables-figures skill do?
Use when building the exhibits for a Journal of Accounting and Economics (JAE) manuscript — variable-definition appendix, sample-construction table, descriptive statistics and correlations, regression tables with clustered standard errors, and event-study/DiD figures — in Elsevier house style so each exhibit is self-contained and reproducible.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jae-tables-figures --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 984 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
