thanks @HumphreyYang this looks great.

The use of cite:t isn't common across our lectures.

Currently we recommend to use cite and have updated the default to use author_year. Does the cite:t provide different formatting?

Many thanks @mmcky.

The old version is

and the cite:t version is

I think cite:t is closer to the citation style we want to use here, but please let me know if I should revert this change.

thanks @HumphreyYang this is super interesting.

@jstac if we want to migrate to cite:t we will need to do a bulk edit across all lectures.
Currently we have author_year style set for bibtex and the differences are shown above.

The engineer in me has always liked the reference in brackets [ but cite:t is closer to the usual text representation in economics.

@mmcky @HumphreyYang Regarding cites, that's a tough one. There are cites in other lectures that don't suit this style (should we make a blanket change). See, e.g., https://jax.quantecon.org/aiyagari_jax.html

I'd like to stay out of this if I can 😬

[mmcky]

@HumphreyYang I think my preference would be to use the global author_year style that uses brackets as it is globally enabled. That will improve consistency.

• convert cite:t to cite
• open an issue to document cite:t and we can have a further think about switching styles (in bulk), but for now let's stay uniform in our approach. (#501)

Hi @mmcky, I have addressed your and @jstac's comments. Please let me know if there is anything else I can further improve.
