# Agenda: Australian Public Finance — LaTeX template for final submissions

Use this template **only for the final, accepted version** of your paper. Papers
submitted for review may be sent in Word or PDF in any reasonable format.

## Files

- `agenda.cls` — the document class. Do not edit it.
- `agenda-mark.png` — the journal mark used in the masthead. Keep it beside the class.
- `agenda-template.tex` — an example article. Copy it and replace the content.
- `agenda-refs.bib` — sample references in BibTeX format.
- `agenda-template.pdf` — what the compiled example looks like.

## Compiling

The class uses pdfLaTeX and `biber` (through `biblatex-chicago`, Chicago author-date).

    latexmk -pdf agenda-template.tex

On Overleaf, set the compiler to pdfLaTeX; biber runs automatically. The fonts (IBM Plex,
Montserrat) are standard TeX Live packages and are already installed on Overleaf and in
full TeX Live distributions.

## What the class provides

- Single-column, single-spaced journal layout on A4 with running heads.
- Title block with authors, affiliations, abstract, highlights, keywords and JEL codes.
- Chicago author-date citations: `\textcite{key}`, `\parencite{key}`, `\parencite[page]{key}`.
- Numbered sections, `booktabs` tables, figure and table captions.
- Volume, issue, DOI and page numbers are added by the journal at production; leave them unset.

## Requirements the template helps you meet

- Abstract of at most 250 words, 3 to 5 keywords, 3 to 5 highlights of at most 85 characters.
- Chicago style references.
- Figures and tables embedded at their intended location, with explanatory captions and legible text.
