This thesis was rendered in the style of Edward Tufte using rmarkdown.
Its template is based on the thesisdown package,215 Chester Ismay, “Ismayc/Thesisdown,” April 2020. which leveraged the ever-present YiHui Xie’s bookdown.216 Yihui Xie, Bookdown: Authoring Books and Technical Documents with R Markdown (Chapman and Hall/CRC, 2016); Yihui Xie et al., “Bookdown: Authoring Books and Technical Documents with R Markdown,” March 2020.
The regression tables were output by stargazer,217 Marek Hlavac, “Stargazer: Well-Formatted Regression and Summary Statistics Tables” (Bratislava, Slovakia: Central European Labour Studies Institute (CELSI), May 2018). with other tables by kableExtra,218 Hao Zhu et al., “kableExtra: Construct Complex Table with ’Kable’ and Pipe Syntax,” March 2019. and Figure 1.1 by DiagrammeR.219 Richard Iannone, “DiagrammeR: Graph/Network Visualization,” January 2020.
In addition to base R,220 R Core Team, R: A Language and Environment for Statistical Computing (Vienna, Austria: R Foundation for Statistical Computing, 2020). the tidyverse221 Hadley Wickham et al., “Welcome to the Tidyverse,” Journal of Open Source Software 4, no. 43 (2019): 1686, https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.01686. and sf222 Edzer Pebesma, “Simple Features for R: Standardized Support for Spatial Vector Data,” The R Journal 10, no. 1 (2018): 439–46, https://doi.org/10.32614/RJ-2018-009. packages provided additional computational firepower.
