Choosing Topics

You can work on (nearly) any economics topics you wish. Before you start, please seek approval by creating an issue on the repo, a repository manager will then confirm your topic. You can also contribute to existing sections.

Adding Citations

In order to add a citation, first either find or create a bibtex style entry and append it to the zreferences.bib file in the project root. This can then be cited in the text with: {cite:p }`citationcode`.

At the bottom of the page, if it doesn't already exist, add a bibliography by:

# References
<!-- ## The Neoclassical Growth Model -->
```{bibliography} ../../zreferences.bib
:filter: docname in docnames
