jegeo-tables-figures
Use when exhibits — especially maps — for a Journal of Economic Geography (JEG) manuscript are dense, decorative, or do not answer the spatial question. Makes maps and tables argue; it does not invent results.

# Tables and Figures (jegeo-tables-figures) ## When to trigger - The paper has maps that are pretty but make no argument (a choropleth that just shows where the data are) - A key spatial pattern lives in a table of coefficients when a map or gradient plot would carry it - Regression tables are dense, use significance asterisks, or hide the spatial-inference choices (W, cutoff, scale) - A geographer reviewer cannot see the geography and an economist reviewer cannot see the magnitudes ## Maps must argue, not decorate JEG is one of the few economics outlets where **the map is often the central exhibit**, and referees from the geography side judge cartographic craft. A map earns its place only if it makes a point a table cannot: - **Show the variation the paper exploits**, not just where observations sit — e.g., the spatial discontinuity at a border, the treated vs. control regions, the gradient that motivates the mechanism. - **Classification is an argument:** the choropleth break scheme (quantiles, Jenks, equal-interval) changes the visual story — choose deliberately and say which, because a reviewer can re-bin and reach a different conclusion. - **Honest projection and scale:** a na

What does the jegeo-tables-figures skill do?
Use when exhibits — especially maps — for a Journal of Economic Geography (JEG) manuscript are dense, decorative, or do not answer the spatial question. Makes maps and tables argue; it does not invent results.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jegeo-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.
