Added Prior Literature and Subsequent Literature sections to OptimumDebt.ipynb, summarizing the key foundations (Bewley–Aiyagari incomplete markets; debt-as-liquidity) and highlighting major subsequent directions (joint fiscal–monetary policy, computational advances, targeted interventions, political feasibility). Also added my name to the notebook as: Updated by: Yiran Ma (Emma).

MyST assembly feedback

Your PR adds valuable literature context to OptimumDebt, but the MyST Assembly and PR assignment asks for a four-notebook MyST document that builds and renders. Right now the MyST build is not configured.

What you need to add

  1. Create the four-notebook structure in models/We-Would-Like-In-Econ-ARK/OptimumDebt/:

    • OptimumDebt_intro.ipynb — paper metadata, original ballpark authors, your name as contributor
    • OptimumDebt_prior-literature.ipynb — prior literature summary with MyST citations (from your literature work)
    • OptimumDebt_summary.ipynb — copy your edited content from OptimumDebt.ipynb here; fix heading hierarchy, add {cite:t} citations, add cross-reference links to the other notebooks
    • OptimumDebt_subsequent-literature.ipynb — subsequent literature with MyST citations
  2. Organize bibliography files:

    • self.bib — the Aiyagari & McGrattan (1998) paper entry
    • references.bib — prior literature (you can use/rename your OptimumDebt.bib if it contains prior refs)
    • subsequent-literature.bib — papers that cite the main paper
  3. Create myst.yml in the OptimumDebt folder:

version: 1
project:
  title: "The Optimum Quantity of Debt — Ballpark Entry"
  bibliography:
    - self.bib
    - references.bib
    - subsequent-literature.bib
  toc:
    - file: OptimumDebt_intro.ipynb
    - file: OptimumDebt_prior-literature.ipynb
    - file: OptimumDebt_summary.ipynb
    - file: OptimumDebt_subsequent-literature.ipynb
site:
  title: "The Optimum Quantity of Debt — Ballpark Entry"
  1. Verify the build from the OptimumDebt folder:
myst build

Build should complete without errors; citations should resolve; HTML should show a rendered bibliography.

Reference: See PR #40 (OpenHA) for a working example, or the Benhabib_et_al_2019 ballpark entry.
