Description
I tried to compile a new AEA article and it works as expected but ONLY if I don't use any bibtex citations.
After I add
bibliography: orange-economy-bibliography.bib
to the YAML header I get an error that I can not fix:
! Package natbib Error: Bibliography not compatible with author-year citations.
The .bib file itself is properly formatted and works flawlessly with 'knitr' when the following YAML settings are specified:
output:
pdf_document:
latex_engine: pdflatex
keep_tex: true
bibliography: orange-economy-bibliography.bib
csl: harvard-cite-them-right.csl

Research direction
Reproduce the AEA article compilation with the YAML bibliography setting and the reported natbib error. Compare it with the working knitr YAML, including the pdflatex, keep_tex, bibliography, and CSL settings; done means the AEA article compiles with BibTeX citations.
