- \documentclass[11pt]{article}
- \usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
- \usepackage{amsmath}
- \author{Integral}
- \title{Standard LaTeX Document}
- \date{\today}
- \begin{document}
- \maketitle
- \section{Introduction}
- First 3 paragraphs: what's the question? What is the state of the literature? What do you add?
- Next 5 paragraphs: give a summary of your results, still at a high level, and connect it to the literature. Dedicated literature review sections are falling out of favor; integrate the lit review into the introduction.
- No mathematics in the introduction. Ever.
- Three pages is a good upper limit for the introduction.
- Dedola, Karadi, and Lombardo (2013 JME) is an example of a very good introduction.
- \section{Model}
- Five to ten paragraphs. Be brief about model elements that are ``standard.'' Go into detail on model elements that are new.
- If it's a DSGE paper, carefully state the definition of equilibrium and the solution method you use.
- Demonstrating LaTeX's math abilities, we have the usual 3-equation New Keynesian model:
- \begin{align}
- x_t &= E_t x_{t+1} - \sigma(i_t - E_t\pi_{t+1} - r_t^n) \\
- \pi_t &= \beta E_t \pi_{t+1} + \kappa x_t \\
- i_t &= \delta_{\pi} \pi_t
- \end{align}
- which hold for $t=1,2,3,\dots$.
- \section{Data}
- Do not waste time describing well-known datasets. Do describe any new or interesting data. If your paper is motivated by new stylized facts, this is the place to present them. If you're calibrating a model, tell me here what moments you're matching. If you're estimating, tell me everything I need to know about the estimation technique.
- If it's an applied micro paper, convince me that your instrument is, indeed, valid.
- \section{Results}
- Fifteen or so paragraphs. Figure out your three main results and spend five paragraphs on each. Support your claims with tables and figures. Tell me the economic intuition.
- \subsection{Result 1}
- \subsection{Result 2}
- \subsection{Result 3}
- \section{Conclusions}
- Short and sweet.
- \end{document}
