In the abstract you should give a short overview of the main issues and findings of your work. Do not get longer than half a page. \end{abstract} \newpage %%%%%%%%%%%%%%End: Abstract%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%Table of contents %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \tableofcontents \newpage %%%%%%%%End: Table of contents %%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%Section One%%%%%%%%% \section{Section 0ne} Structure your text into sections, subsections, and subsubsections. Given the command \verb|\tableofcontents|, the structure will automatically appear in the table of contents. %% Subsection One.One \subsection{Subsection One.One} %% Subsubsection One.One.One \subsubsection{Subsubsection One.One.One} %%%%%%%%%% Section Mathematics %%%%%%%%%%%%% \section{Mathematics} With \LaTeX\ you can handle mathematics very easily. Make sure that the packages \verb|amsmath| and \verb|latexsym| are loaded in preamble of your .tex file. \begin{equation} \label{eq: normal density} \lim_{X\rightarrow +\infty}\Phi(X) = \int \limits_{-\infty}^{+\infty}\frac{1}{\sigma \sqrt{2\pi}}\exp\left\{-\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\right)^{2}\right\}\text{d}x = 1. \end{equation} %%%%%%%%%%Section Example References %%%%%%%%% \section{Example References} Remember to reference the articles you have been using in your literature research. There are several ways how to build up your bibliography, in the following we show one straight forward example using the \verb|natbib| package:\\[.5cm] To cite the paper of \citeauthor{Solow1956} \citeyearpar{Solow1956}, put the code \verb|\citeauthor{Solow1956}| for the authors and \verb|\citeyearpar{Solow1956}| for the year in parantheses. You can also use the command \verb|\citeyear| to omit the parantheses. {\tt Solow1956} is a keyword and comes from the bibliography code:\\[.5cm] \verb|\begin{thebibliography}{9}|\\ \verb|\bibitem[Solow(1956)]{Solow1956}|\\ \verb|{Solow, Robert M.}, 1956.\|\\ \verb|\lq \lq A contribution to the Theory of Economic Growth.\rq \rq\|\\ \verb|\emph{Quarterly Journal of Economics}, 70 (1): 65--94.|\\ \verb|\end{thebibliography}|\\[0.5cm] The references can be found in the references section. Note that you have to compile the code twice, when you add a new reference to the bibliography section. %%%%%%%%Section Table %%%%%%%%%%%%% \section{Tables} Tables can easily be created by using the {\tt tabular} environment. \begin{table}[ht] %% Center the table \centering \begin{tabular}{l|cc} \hline & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Level}\\ \hline \hline Regression & High & Low\\ \hline $\alpha$ & 0.55 & -0.8\\ \hline \hline \end{tabular} \caption{Example Table} \end{table} %%%%%%% Modifications %%%%%%%% \section{Modifications} We encourage you to modify and improve this template. There are countless documentations on \LaTeX\ available on the internet. If you come across small problems, just google for keywords to the problem and put additionally the word LaTeX. %%%%%%%%%%%Bibliography%%%%%%%%%%% \newpage \begin{thebibliography}{9} \bibitem[Solow(1956)]{Solow1956} {Solow, Robert M.}, 1956.\ \lq \lq A Contribution to the Theory of Economic Growth.\rq \rq\ \emph{Quarterly Journal of Economics}, 70 (1): 65--94. \end{thebibliography} %%End: Bibliography \newpage \begin{appendix} %%%%%%%%%%%Vorlagen%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section{Appendix} \end{appendix} \noindent So as not to impede the reading flow, you should put large or complicated formulas, tables or graphics in the appendix. \end{document}
