joe-tables-figures
Use when building the Monte Carlo tables and theory-illustrating figures for a Journal of Econometrics (JoE) manuscript. Covers size/power table conventions, estimator-comparison layout, and figures that make asymptotic and finite-sample behavior legible.

# Tables & Figures (joe-tables-figures) ## When to trigger - Monte Carlo results exist but the tables are dense, unlabeled, or hard to compare across methods - Size and power are mixed into one block so distortion is invisible - Figures show output but not the *behavior* the theorems predict (rates, coverage, distributions) - You are formatting exhibits for a PDF-only initial submission and want them print-legible ## What JoE exhibits must do At the *Journal of Econometrics* the exhibits are the **empirical backbone of a methods paper**: they have to let a referee verify, at a glance, that the estimator is well-behaved and the test controls size. Initial submission is a **single PDF** (~40 pages, ≥1.5 spacing, 11pt), so tables and figures must be readable inline at that density; structured formatting and source files are handled at revision/acceptance. Build self-contained exhibits whose notes state the DGP, sample sizes, replication count, and nominal level. ## Monte Carlo table conventions - **Separate size from power.** Report **empirical size at nominal 5%/10%** in its own panel; report **size-adjusted power** separately so a size-distorted test cannot masquerade as powerful. -

What does the joe-tables-figures skill do?
Use when building the Monte Carlo tables and theory-illustrating figures for a Journal of Econometrics (JoE) manuscript. Covers size/power table conventions, estimator-comparison layout, and figures that make asymptotic and finite-sample behavior legible.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill joe-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 909 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.
