Footnote position

Post by salehin »

Hello TeX'ers!

If there is not much texts (and others stuffs) in a page (which is automatically determined by LaTeX), I notice that the footnote place gets larger. Is there a way to tell LaTeX to put the footnote at the bottom of the page, instead of putting right after the end of the contents?

I should also mention that if I remove the \pagebreak from the middle of main body of the text, the footnotes appears to be in the correct position. Please let me know how I can modify it, if possible.

Here is an MWE:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt, final]{article}
\usepackage[margin=2.54cm,top=2.54cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[gen]{eurosym}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{tikz}%

\begin{document}

\title{X}
\author{Y\\\textbf{University of Z}}
\maketitle

\begin{abstract}
Write the main bits here.
\end{abstract}

%You must put the output details BEFORE \title
%if you want title use this cmd after '\title'

\section{Introduction}

We write the motivation for introducing this new modeling technique. \footnote{Testing the footnote position}

\section{Assumptions}

To some extents these are strengths and more importantly are the limitations of this model.

\section{Model}
Here I describe the model.

\pagebreak

\section{Empirics}
Now I test the model using some economic data. \footnote{Testing the footnote position again.}

\section{Summary}
Now we summarise everything.

\end{document} 
Thanks :)
