This is a work-in-progress website of support files for writing various files with latex, produced by Fan. The project includes sample file for papers, exams, homeworks, etc.

This package is synced with overleaf project, all latex files and examples here are viewable and compilable on the overleaf project synced site.

From other repositories: For code examples, see Python Example Code, R Example Code, Matlab Example Code, and Stata Example Code. See here for all of Fan’s public repositories.

7.5 Github Integration

This overleaf project is synced with this git repository. You can clone the project, pull project to overleaf, and compile in overleaf browser. Specifically: clone the repo; go to your overleaf account and create a project; click on menu under sync with git/github.

The writing/structure is to:

1. Store latex formatting file etc in separate files away from paper tex.
2. For papers, write in tex fragments stored in separate files. Main tex paper file mainly contains structure/outline.
3. Files synced through git/github, pull from github to edit/share with co-authors on overleaf.com or edit locally.

Please contact FanWangEcon for issues or problems.
