About

Template for a doctoral dissertation in Economics that follows the Stockholm University dissertation style guide.

A compiled version of the template can be found here.

Adapted from the Stockholm University PhD thesis template in Overleaf.

Using Arial font in TOC

To use the Arial font in the table of contents, you need to download getnonfreefonts and then add the Arial font.

You can do this by following these steps:

  1. Download the installer from here.
  2. Open a terminal, go to the folder where the installer was downloaded, and run sudo texlua install-getnonfreefonts.
  3. Download the Arial font by running sudo getnonfreefonts --sys arial-urw.

If you encounter problems with doing this, consider also using the Helvetica font (very similar to Arial) for the TOC.
To change the font, change line 55 in config/dissertation.cls to \usepackage[scaled]{helvet}.

Using the template

The easiest way to compile the dissertation TeX file is to run the script compile.py.
Assuming the name of the Python 3 executable is python, open a terminal, go to the root of the repository, and run python compile.py.

Alternatively, if you have a Mac and use TeXShop, you can use pdflatexmk to compile.
I have also confirmed that compiling works using VSCode and the LaTeX Workshop extension.

You are free to use this template by downloading, forking, or cloning the repository.
