LaTeX Style Files
General information on LaTeX
Go to this link if you are just getting started. Then come back to the
information below when you are interested in improving the formatting of
your paper.
I've recently been exploring how to make my working papers look better
using new LaTex style files. In general, typesetters of journals do a
much better job of presenting the written word than do us researchers in
our working papers. Imitating them seems like a good idea to me.
Academic Press once put some of their latex style files online, but I
can't find them now. I modified a couple of those files for my own
personal use. Here is a pdf example of what
this format looks like. Some helpful files to make your LaTeX papers
look like this are
chadtemplate.tex A template file; just
add your paper. You need the other files below...
chad.cls My modification of the Academic Press
file ajour.cls.
chadps.sty My modification of the Acadmic Press
file ajourps.sty.
aernobold.sty and aernobold.bst My bibliography format, basically
the aer format without the bold author.
