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 \thetaused 22 times in narrative. Lines: 35, 37, 115, 116, etc.[qe-code-003] —
!pip install --upgrade quanteconplaced 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, noalign-inside-$$issues.{doc}used for cross-series references; no raw URLs.
Recommended actions#
Switch narrative
Author {cite}…to{cite:t}form (7 occurrences).Remove
\vecarrows from sequence symbols.Move
!pip installto the very top of the lecture.Tighten multi-sentence paragraphs.
