This is a bit of LaTeX code that formats the bibliography and citationsfollowing theaer.bst
file used byThe American Economic Review (seehere) but uses the more recent BibLaTeX and Biber packages which donot use the old BibTexbst
files.Seehere for reasons why you might want to use BibLaTeX/Biber over BibTexandhere for how to transition away from BibTex.
This file is not a standalone Latex package, but rather some boilerplatepreamble code that builds onbiblatex-chicago
.It builds on the stockbiblatex-chicago
package in three ways:
- Sets
biblatex-chicago
options to matchaer.bst
. - Bolds author names in the bibliography.
- Extends hyperlinks in in-text citations to the entire citation, name andyear, not just the year.
The filebiblatex-aer.tex
must be in a folder where the LaTeX compiler canfind it, e.g., in the same directory as your main document.If you're using TexLive, you can put it in~/texmf/tex/latex/local/biblatex-aer
and it will be available for use inany document (seehere).
Usebiblatex-aer
by adding the following to the preamble of your document:
\input{biblatex-aer}
Do not useusepackage
instead ofinput
, becausebiblatex-aer
isn'ta package.It uses\usepackage{biblatex-chicago}
and then makes various changes fromthere.
If you want to pass additional options tobiblatex-chicago
, likenatbib
,you can use
\PassOptionsToPackage{natbib}{biblatex-chicago}% Or other options\input{biblatex-aer}
instead.
For everything else (addingbib
files, citations, etc.), you just followstandard BibLaTeX orbiblatex-chicago
conventions.
biblatex-chicago
>= 0.9.9h (based onbiblatex
>= 3.3)biber
>= 2.4
The formatting syntax forbiblatex
changed with version 3.3.If you really need to use an earlier version ofbiblatex
, you can trybiblatex-aer
version 0.0.1, which uses the old syntax.
