Book

Economic Networks: Theory and Computation (Cambridge UP) — John Stachurski and Thomas J. Sargent. Distributed today as a PDF (pdf/networks.pdf, plus a Chinese translation) with a static companion site at networks.quantecon.org and notebooks under ipynb/, all in QuantEcon/book-networks-public. Full LaTeX source in the private QuantEcon/book-networks: networks.tex, preamble.tex, ch_preface.tex, ch_intro.tex, ch_production.tex, ch_opt.tex, ch_mcs.tex, ch_fpms.tex, appendix.tex, backmatter.tex, figures/, figures_source/, tikz/, qe_bib.bib — the same flat-chapter layout as book-dp2. Already listed on the books page via _projects/networks.md, linking to the companion site. John liaises with Cambridge UP on rights.

Tasks

Create MyST-MD edition using QuantEcon/claude-latex-to-myst (see its docs/getting-started.md; book-dp2 is the reference conversion)

• In book-networks: scripts/new-book.sh --source . --dest mystmd --template dp2, fill in mystmd/config.yaml, run mystmd/convert.sh
• Review converted chapters — directives, cross-refs, figures, bibliography; feed new transform needs back to the pipeline's lessons/
• Port TikZ diagrams (SVG or reauthor) and code-generated figures from figures_source/ (executed cells where practical)
• Integrate the ipynb/ notebooks as executable chapter code, with quantecon-book-networks as a dependency
• Link the PDF (and Chinese PDF) and companion site from the edition
• Deploy — self-hosted under John's GitHub account, or under QuantEcon (e.g. alongside book-networks-public) if he prefers; record the URL here

Update quantecon.org/books

• Repoint link in _projects/networks.md to the edition; refresh description to mention online edition, PDF and notebooks; consider new: true

Acceptance criteria

• All chapters render with working cross-references, equations and bibliography; theorems, proofs and exercises use the standard directives; code cells execute in CI
• Edition live at a recorded URL
• Books-page card links to the edition
