Use when presenting results for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript — propositions, numerical examples, schematic theory figures, and empirical/experimental tables. Builds exhibits to AEA house norms; it does not derive the results (see aejmic-theory-model).

Prompt
I am preparing a microeconomic theory manuscript for submission to AEJ: Micro. I have attached my formal proposition statements, a numerical simulation example showing how optimal thresholds shift, and a draft experimental table. Could you review my exhibits and theoretical presentation? Please evaluate my formal statements, introductory prose structure, numerical example setup, schematic diagram clarity, and table reporting format, using a structured checklist breakdown and specifying the logical next step for polishing the draft.

Result Presentation: Propositions, Examples & Exhibits (aejmic-tables-figures)
When to trigger
Propositions are buried in prose or stated imprecisely
A numerical example would make an abstract result concrete but is missing or cluttered
A schematic figure (timeline, type space, equilibrium region) would help but is not drawn
(Applied/experimental) tables are dense or carry significance asterisks
Presenting a theory-first result
AEJ: Micro results are mostly propositions, characterizations, and numerical examples, not regression tables. The exhibit job is to make a formal result legible and concrete.
Propositions and theorems
State each as a numbered, self-contained Proposition/Theorem/Lemma: a reader should grasp it without re-reading the model.
Put the economic content first in surrounding prose ("Higher search costs raise equilibrium prices because…"), then the formal statement.
Define every symbol at first use; keep notation consistent across statements; minimize ad-hoc subscripts.
Numerical examples (the AEJ: Micro workhorse)
Use a small, transparent parameterization to illustrate the mechanism, not to "test" it — say which proposition it instantiates.
Show the moving part: a table or plot of the key object (optimal mechanism, equilibrium strategy, welfare) as a primitive varies.
Report enough to reproduce (parameter values, grid) — these go in the replication package.
Schematic theory figures
Timelines for extensive-form games; type-space / signal partitions for information design; equilibrium-region plots in parameter space; best-response diagrams.
Vector output; readable labels; no chartjunk. A figure should carry one idea.
Applied / experimental tables
Three-line tables; report standard errors and confidence sets, not significance asterisks (AEA house norm for inference presentation).
Place exhibits near their discussion; self-contained notes (sample, units, what each column is).
Choosing the right exhibit for the result
What you want to convey
Best exhibit
A characterization holds
A numbered Proposition + an intuition sentence; rarely a table
Use when building tables and figures for an American Journal of Political Science (AJPS) manuscript. AJPS counts table/figure headers and notes toward the word limit, and the deposited code must regenerate every exhibit exactly for third-party verification. Designs self-contained, reproducible exhibits; it does not run the analysis.
