Havard References

chave

Hi,

I was just wondering how to get a good economics harvard style for references.

thanks.

Time Magazine

Do you mean the Harvard bibliography style, or do you mean you want your article to look like it's in the Quarterly Journal of Economics?

hi Time,

I basically want my references to look like (Surname year)
I heard aer.bst will make that happen but I hear i need to put in some
packages at the start namely harvard, aer, aertt, and ulem packages.

using plain at the moment and it looks kak as it puts a number in.

any ideas?

Yeah you will need to copy the harvard.sty files (read here) or install the economic pacakge (read here) or in fact I think it's a default in natbib.

Natbib will probably do it for you once it's installed. Your basic code should look like this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{natbib}
\begin{document}

My favourite article ever is \cite{solow56}. The theoretical contribution was way better than \cite{mrw91}.

\bibliographystyle{harvard}
\bibliography{mybibfilename}
\end{document}
