Research direction
Start with the split work in issues #363-#366, then read claude-latex-to-myst and its scripts/new-book.sh entry point, using book-dp2 as the stated reference conversion. Check QuantEcon/website _layouts/books.html and the relevant _projects/*.md entries; done means the four books have the planned editions or listings, with existing companion sites unchanged.

Description
Background
Four books are queued for deployment, each ending with a listing on quantecon.org/books. Tom's request for his two books was #361 (closed; its checklist now lives in #363 and #364).
| Book | Authors | Current state |
|---|---|---|
| Linear Time Series (Macroeconomic Theory, Ch. XI) | Thomas J. Sargent | Jupyter Book v1 site at thomassargent30.github.io/sargent-time-series |
| Preliminary Introduction to Continuous Time Stochastic Processes | Thomas J. Sargent | Jupyter Book v1 site at thomassargent30.github.io/sargent-continuous-time |
| A Primer in Econometric Theory (MIT Press, 2016) | John Stachurski | Homepage at johnstachurski.net/emet with sample PDFs; code in jstac/econometrics; LaTeX source held by the author |
| Economic Networks: Theory and Computation (Cambridge UP) | John Stachurski, Thomas J. Sargent | PDF + companion site at networks.quantecon.org; LaTeX source in private book-networks; already listed on the books page |
Publishing model
- Conversion (LaTeX books): QuantEcon/claude-latex-to-myst — the Pandoc + post-processing pipeline that drove the
book-dp1,book-dp2and Deep Learning conversions. A new book is a config change (scripts/new-book.sh --source . --dest mystmd), and the post-processor already emitssphinx-proofdirectives, MyST cross-refs, figure directives and KaTeX-safe math. - Hosting: books are self-hosted from the author's GitHub account, with quantecon.org/books linking out. A book can be hosted under QuantEcon if the author wishes.
- Publisher rights: the authors liaise with their publishers; not a QuantEcon task.
- Listing:
_projects/*.mdentries withtype: bookin QuantEcon/website, covers inassets/img/books/.
Work plan
| Issue | Book | Work |
|---|---|---|
| #363 | Sargent — Linear Time Series | List on books page; theorem/proof/exercise directives; more figures |
| #364 | Sargent — Continuous Time Stochastic Processes | List on books page; theorem/proof/exercise directives; more figures |
| #365 | Stachurski — A Primer in Econometric Theory | Place source; MyST-MD edition via claude-latex-to-myst; list on books page |
| #366 | Stachurski & Sargent — Economic Networks | MyST-MD edition via claude-latex-to-myst; repoint books-page card |
Sequencing
The four issues are independent. The Sargent listings can land immediately (covers are drafted and linked from #363 and #364). Economic Networks is the natural first conversion: source in hand and the same flat-chapter layout as book-dp2, so lessons carry to the Primer, which first needs its source placed in a repo.
What does not need to change
Existing companion sites and PDF workflows (networks.quantecon.org, dp.quantecon.org) stay as they are; MyST-MD editions are additive. The books-page layout already supports everything needed.
