Write-ups Of Papers

Below is a list of papers with some level of write-up. The level varies dramatically - some papers have essentially full write-ups with all of the core math of their models laid out for the reader, and others have only sktech write-up that may tell you references, abstracts and perhaps some salient points.

At present the papers aren't categorized. The hope is that one day I'll find time (or grad students) to write up topic pages that link the papers together. In the meantime, it might be helpful to look through my course pages and get context for papers from there.
