Wigle and Nelson H. F. Beebe USAGE The usage of ajae.bst, ajae.cls, erae.bst, and erae.cls are explained inside these files. They use the natbib package (see CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/natbib/) Most other styles permit four forms of citation, which are illustrated below: Citation Form Result \cite{wealth} (Smith 1776) \citename{wealth} Smith \citeyear{wealth} (1776) \citeasnoun{wealth} Smith (1776) CONTRIBUTIONS Some of these files have been assembled via cash contributions from interested economists, since we have yet to run into an economist who is both a good bib hacker, and not so busy as to have time to take on the project. If you want to contribute please contact Arne Henningsen .
