Issues#

Critical#

None found.

High severity#

  • [qe-math-003] — \begin{array}{...} used for matrices throughout instead of \begin{bmatrix}. Example: lectures/cons_news.md:549-565. Count: 17 occurrences.

Medium severity#

  • [qe-writing-009 (proposed)] — “i.i.d.” used in text instead of “IID”. Example: lectures/cons_news.md:127, :146, :149, :481. Count: 4 occurrences.

  • [qe-link-002] — Two raw python-intro.quantecon.org/perm_income_cons.html URLs. Example: lectures/cons_news.md:36, :56. Count: 2 occurrences.

Low severity#

  • [qe-writing-005] — Bold for keywords like **news**, **noise**, **Ricardian equivalence** is borderline definitional.

  • [qe-code-002] — Spelled-out Greek in code parameters.

  • Note: ^T instances at L816, L823, L840 are time horizons, not transpose — no qe-math-002 violation.

Strengths#

  • Title in Title Case (qe-writing-006).

  • Subheadings sentence case (qe-writing-006).

  • Sequences in curly brackets (qe-math-005).

  • 5 {doc} cross-series references (qe-link-002).

  • Install cell at top with hide-output (qe-code-003).
