This is really incomprehensibly strange. Adding separate citations makes the other citations look broken.

If I only have these two citations,

enter image description here

then the pdf result is perfectly normal.

But if I add either one of the two new citations,

enter image description here

then the pdf result shows "Autor" becomes "D. Autor"

Why does one citation affect other citations?

And I am using "Biblatex (natbib mode)" on Lyx. So far only this option works.

  • Another weird thing is why do the last two new citations show up only two names, not one name? Of course, I want one name followed by "et al." Why show up two names when there are three names? – user1849133 Sep 13 '20 at 21:33

    Please post your code (including your bib file) as text, not an image. It looks like one of your authors is "David Autor" and the other is "David H Autor", and BibTex is trying to distinguish the two. – Teepeemm Sep 13 '20 at 21:36
  • Thank you so much. Removing "H" solved the problem. Though the problem was solved, I will share the bib file here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xdBy5mR_eicv9UaZ5gui3AUhRVDPliWP/view?usp=sharing – user1849133 Sep 13 '20 at 21:41
  • But the other problem wasn't solved. Autor, Katz, and Krueger has 3 authors. Of course, I want to display "Autor et al." but it displays two authors "Autor, Katz, et al." How can I fix this? – user1849133 Sep 13 '20 at 21:43

    You've tagged both 'biblatex' and 'natbib'. These packages are mutually incompatible. Which one do you use? – Mico Sep 14 '20 at 01:24

    BTW, journal={The Quarterly journal of economics}, is a real eye-sore. Please change it to journal={The Quarterly Journal of Economics},. (Yes, I'm an economist too.) – Mico Sep 14 '20 at 01:26
  • @Mico Thank you! And I added a screenshot showing what option I am using. Biblatex (natbib mode) is what I am using on Lyx. – user1849133 Sep 14 '20 at 03:19

    You probably want the options uniquename=false, and uniquelist=false,. See https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/134535/35864 and https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/69028/35864. biblatex tries to avoid ambiguous names and name lists by adding initials or given names and adding more authors to make the list unique. – moewe Sep 14 '20 at 05:33
