aejpol-tables-figures

aejpol-tables-figures is a skill for Claude Code from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,397 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for designing tables and charts for an AEJ: Economic Policy manuscript, a research paper submitted to an economics journal. It focuses on clear policy results, uncertainty, and the journal's house style.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare tables, event-study charts, regression-discontinuity charts, and other final exhibits for submission. It helps make each exhibit self-contained by documenting the sample, units, methods, and policy meaning.
Why use it?
It helps turn dense or hard-to-read results into exhibits that readers can understand without searching through the paper. It also prevents common presentation choices such as significance stars from replacing standard errors or confidence intervals.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

aejpol-tables-figures scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Tables & Figures — Exhibits that Carry the Policy Message (aejpol-tables-figures)

When to trigger

  • Tables are dense, over-decorated with significance stars, or hard to read
  • The paper lacks one exhibit a reader could take away as the policy result
  • Figures show coefficients but not the policy-relevant magnitude or its uncertainty
  • You are preparing the final exhibit set for an AEA submission

AEA / AEJ: Policy exhibit norms

  • Report standard errors (or confidence intervals), not significance asterisks/boldface. Put SEs in parentheses below estimates; the reader judges significance from the SE/CI. This is the house convention to follow.
  • Self-contained. Title and notes let an exhibit be read without the text: sample, units, estimator, clustering level, what is controlled, and what the number means in policy terms.
  • Self-contained, not anonymized. Review is single-blind, so exhibits need not hide authorship; keep notes clean and neutral (avoid stray local file paths) for readability, not for blinding.
  • Figures are the workhorse for policy communication: event-study plots with CIs, RDD plots with binned means and the fitted discontinuity, dose-response or cost-benefit curves with uncertainty bands. Vector output; ≥300 dpi raster only if unavoidable; readable greyscale.

The headline exhibit (AEJ: Policy-specific)

Every AEJ: Policy paper should have one exhibit a policymaker could screenshot: the policy effect in interpretable units with its welfare/cost-benefit reading where possible. Examples (illustrative formats):

  • An event-study figure of the outcome around the reform, with the long-run effect annotated in policy units.
  • A cost-benefit / MVPF figure: net cost per unit of outcome across policy variants, with bands.
  • An incidence figure: who gains and who pays, by income/region group.

Table craft

  • Three-line tables (esttab/booktabs), no vertical rules; align decimals; consistent digits.
  • Lead column = the policy-relevant specification, not a kitchen-sink spec.
  • Put the policy-relevant magnitude (elasticity, cost-per-X, MVPF) in the paper's units, not only a raw coefficient; add a row translating the coefficient into the policy number where natural.
  • Sample size, mean of the dependent variable, and clustering level on every table.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
