USAGE

The usage of ajae.bst, ajae.cls, erae.bst, and erae.cls are explained
inside these files. They use the natbib package (see
CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/natbib/)

Most other styles permit four forms of citation, which are illustrated
below:
   Citation Form          Result
\cite{wealth}          (Smith 1776)  
\citename{wealth}       Smith           
\citeyear{wealth}       (1776)        
\citeasnoun{wealth}     Smith (1776)  


CONTRIBUTIONS

Some of these files have been assembled via cash contributions from interested
economists, since we have yet to run into an economist who is both a
good bib hacker, and not so busy as to have time to take on the
project.
