## What it is
ElegantPaper is a LaTeX template (article class) designed for writing working papers, especially for economics students. It handles formatting so authors can focus on writing, and is distributed via GitHub and CTAN.

## Use cases
- write an economics working paper in LaTeX
- format an academic paper without worrying about layout
- find a clean LaTeX template for research drafts
- typeset a working paper with a standard article class
- prepare a paper draft for a seminar or preprint

## When to choose
- you are an economics student or researcher writing a working paper
- you want a ready-made LaTeX template so you can skip formatting work
- you prefer a template based on the standard LaTeX article class

## When to avoid
- you need a journal-specific or conference-specific LaTeX class
- you need actively maintained software with rapid bug fixes (it was discontinued in 2023 and only re-released in 2026)
- you are not writing in LaTeX

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: documentation, templating
- domain: documentation, education, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: latex-template, working-paper, economics, academic-writing, latex-class
