How to Install the economtex Package

Simple method that works on all systems

  • Move all LaTeX classes/styles (*.cls, *.sty) and BibTeX styles (*.bst) that you need in the the same folder as your LaTeX (*.tex) file.

Unix/Linux systems

  1. Create a directory "texmf" in your home directory (if it does not already exist)
  2. Create following subdirectories: "~/temf/bibtex/bst/economic", "~/temf/tex/latex/economic", and "~/temf/doc/economic" (details on the TeX Directory Structure)
  3. Move all BibTeX styles (*.bst) into "~texmf/bibtex/bst/economic"
  4. Move all LaTeX classes/styles (*.cls, *.sty) into "~texmf/tex/latex/economic"
  5. Move all remaining files into "~texmf/doc/economic"
  6. Run the command "texhash"

MiKTeX on MS-Windows systems

  1. Create a local TEXMF directory (if you don't already have one), e.g. "C:\Local TeX Files"
  2. If you created a new local TEXMF directory, register it as an additional "root" in the MikTeX options (see Documentation of MiKTeX)
  3. Create following subdirectories in your local TEXMF directory: "C:\Local TeX Files\bibtex\bst\economic", "C:\Local TeX Files\tex\latex\economic", and "C:\Local TeX Files\doc\economic" (details on the TeX Directory Structure)
  4. Move all BibTeX styles (*.bst) into "C:\Local TeX Files\bibtex\bst\economic"
  5. Move all LaTeX classes/styles (*.cls, *.sty) into "C:\Local TeX Files\tex\latex\economic"
  6. Move all remaining files into "C:\Local TeX Files\doc\economic"
  7. Refresh the File Name Data Base (FNDB) in the MiKTeX options.

Or with MiKTeX 2.7:

  1. Select "economic" in the MiKTeX Package Manager and start installation from CTAN by clicking the "+" sign. Refresh FNDB in the MiKTeX options.
  2. Since CTAN is not the primary source of this package, eventual more recent files can be placed in a local TEXMF directory (se above). MiKTeX will use the most recent files.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

Why are the figures and tables in "sidewaysfigure" and "sidewaystable" environments (defined in package "rotating") not moved to the end of the paper?

By default, the "endfloat" package is aware of the "figure" and "table" environments only. To make "endfloat" move also the "sidewaysfigure" and "sidewaystable" environments to the end of the paper, you could download the file efxmpl.cfg or endfloat.cfg (e.g. from http://www.users.sbg.ac.at/~pfeifern/endfloat.cfg or http://tazman.princeton.edu/osx/endfloat.cfg) and save it as endfloat.cfg in the same folder in which your LaTeX (.tex) document is located (see section 8.2 of the documentation of the "endfloat" package).
