jep-evidence-without-equations

separate

Use when presenting empirical or theoretical evidence credibly in a Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) article with minimal math — intuition, examples, well-chosen numbers, and honest caveats. Handles how evidence is conveyed in prose; defer figures/tables to jep-exhibits-for-general-readers and fairness across studies to jep-balance-and-objectivity.

When to use

• presenting empirical evidence without regression tables
• conveying theoretical evidence with minimal math
• translating coefficients into plain units
• characterizing the body of evidence
• stating caveats and external validity
• anchoring magnitudes with benchmarks

When not to use

• creating figures or tables
• ensuring fairness across studies
• displaying estimation equations
• using asterisks for significance
