I am typesetting a paper to be published in the Review of Financial Studies (RFS) and am using their Latex files to do so.
Besides many other issues, which I have managed to overcome, one has become insuperable: natbib.
I am using Natbib to do my biblio, as required by their class file, and run into two issues:
Once I change the bibliography style from "chicago" to any other .bst file I want to use, for example the RFS.bst provided here by Professor Ivo Welch, the whole document breaks down indicating "Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item" for each enry in my .bib file cited in the paper.
I am not able to get \setcitestyle{aysep={}} to work. I get two errors: "Undefined control sequence", and "LaTeX Error: Missing \begin document".
I will include a MWE with the link to download the RFS files:
Links to RFS files:
- Overleaf.
- RFS Website par.3.
Link to rfs.bst:
- Ivo Welch website.
