This is a Quarto template for making an academic working paper that is often used in the field of Economics. It is named "aea" as it is loosely based on the paper template given by AEA.

You can use this as a template to create your own working paper. To do this, run in terminal:

quarto use template hchulkim/econ-paper-template

This will install the extension in the _extensions subdirectory and create an example qmd file and bibiography that you can use as a starting place for your article.

You may also use this format with an existing Quarto project or document. From the quarto project or document directory, run the following command to install this format:

quarto add hchulkim/econ-paper-template

To use the format, you can use the format names aea-pdf and aea-html. For example:

quarto render template.qmd --to aea-pdf

or in your document yaml

format:
  aea-pdf:
    keep-tex: true

You can view a preview of the rendered template at https://github.com/hchulkim/econ-paper-template/blob/main/template.pdf
