Issues#

Critical#

None found.

High severity#

  • [qe-ref-001] — Seven narrative-author citations using parenthetical {cite} rather than {cite:t}. Examples: “Guillermo Calvo ” (35), “Cagan ” (49), “Calvo ” (49), “Chang ” (49, 117), “Abreu ” (51), “Stokey ” (51), “Stokey ” (154).

Medium severity#

  • [qe-math-004]\vec \mu, \vec \theta used 22 times in narrative. Lines: 35, 37, 115, 116, etc.

  • [qe-code-003]!pip install --upgrade quantecon placed mid-lecture (line 278) rather than at top.

Low severity#

  • [qe-writing-001] — Several multi-sentence paragraphs (e.g. 35-42, 46-52).

  • [qe-math-005] — Sequence written with parentheses elsewhere mostly OK; one (c_t)_{t=0} style.

Strengths#

  • Lecture title in correct Title Case.

  • All H2/H3 headings sentence case (“Model components”, “Another timing protocol”, “Government decisions”, “Temptation to deviate from plan”, “Sustainable or credible plan”, “Abreu’s self-enforcing plan”, “Abreu’s carrot-stick plan”).

  • Definitions bolded (“time inconsistency”, “Stackelberg”, “Ramsey planner”, “credible government policy”, “sustainable plan”).

  • Equation labels and {eq} references used cleanly.

  • No transpose, no bold vectors (apart from \vec), no matrix-bracket, no \tag, no align-inside-$$ issues.

  • {doc} used for cross-series references; no raw URLs.
