Question

Why this citation does not work?

@article{babecky2014banking,
  title={Banking, debt, and currency crises in developed countries: Stylized facts and early warning indicators},
  author={Babeck{\`y}, Jan and Havr{\'a}nek, Tom{\'a}{\v{s}} and Mat{\v{e}}j{\uu}, Jakub and Rusn{\'a}k, Marek and {\v{S}}m{\'\i}dkov{\'a}, Kate{\v{r}}ina and Va{\v{s}}{\'\i}{\v{c}}ek, Bo{\v{r}}ek},
  journal={Journal of Financial Stability},
  volume={15},
  pages={1--17},
  year={2014},
  publisher={Elsevier}
}

After compiling I get this error:

As it says, where is \uu defined? – daleif Jan 16 '20 at 14:42 — daleif, Jan 16 '20 at 14:42

This bibliographic entry surely merits using "native" accented characters instead of the cumbersome alternative. Compile with either natbib/BibTeX or biblatex/biber.

If, however, you can't employ

author = "Jan Babecký and Tomáš Havránek and Jakub Matějů 
          and Marek Rusnák and Kateřina Šmídková 
          and Bořek Vašíček",

you should set the author field as follows:

author = "Jan Babeck{\'y} and Tom{\'a}{\v s} Havr{\'a}nek and Jakub Mat{\v e}j{\r u} 
          and Marek Rusn{\'a}k and Kate{\v r}ina {\v S}m{\'i}dkov{\'a} 
          and Bo{\v r}ek Va{\v s}{\'i}{\v c}ek",

See How to write “ä” and other umlauts and accented letters in bibliography for more information on how to enter 'accented' characters in a bib file. Shameless self-citation alert! :-)

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\bibliographystyle{plainnat} % or some other suitable bib style

Two downvotes in one day, in short succession no less. That's a new one. I looks like I seriously annoyed somebody! No idea why, so it's not going to affect my future behavior... — Mico, Jan 22 '20 at 05:28

Did you mean \u{u} instead of \uu?

@article{babecky2014banking,
  title={Banking, debt, and currency crises in developed countries: Stylized facts and early warning indicators},
  author={Babeck{\`y}, Jan and Havr{\'a}nek, Tom{\'a}{\v{s}} and Mat{\v{e}}j{\u{u}}, Jakub and Rusn{\'a}k, Marek and {\v{S}}m{\'\i}dkov{\'a}, Kate{\v{r}}ina and Va{\v{s}}{\'\i}{\v{c}}ek, Bo{\v{r}}ek},
  journal={Journal of Financial Stability},
  volume={15},
  pages={1--17},
  year={2014},
  publisher={Elsevier}
}

{\r u} would be better than {\u u}. – Mico Jan 16 '20 at 15:18 — Mico, Jan 16 '20 at 15:18

In the original article you have Jakub Matějů, see, e.g., https://econpapers.repec.org/paper/ecbecbwps/20121485.htm, so it should be and Mat{\v{e}}j{\r{u}}, Jakub
