if I am citing the reference example I get S.H. Kim & Netessine (2013) and in the second example I get Laffont & Tirole (1987). Can someone explain to me how I make the first return the second outcome? I am using \usepackage[natbibapa]{apacite}.

@article{kim13,
  title={Collaborative cost reduction and component procurement under information asymmetry},
  author={Kim, Sang-Hyun and Netessine, Serguei},
  journal={Management Science},
  volume={59},
  number={1},
  pages={189--206},
  year={2013},
  publisher={INFORMS}
}

@article{laffont87,
  title={Auctioning incentive contracts},
  author={Laffont, Jean-Jacques and Tirole, Jean},
  journal={Journal of Political Economy},
  volume={95},
  number={5},
  pages={921--937},
  year={1987},
  publisher={The University of Chicago Press}
}

Thank you for your help.

  • This probably means you have another reference with Kim as the last name and the APA style requires initials to disambiguate authors with the same last name. – Alan Munn Jul 21 '20 at 16:15
  • And I don't think there's a way to turn this off with apacite, at least not out of the box. It's simpler to do this using biblatex and its apa style, if that's an option. – Alan Munn Jul 21 '20 at 16:33
  • Thx Alan. You are absolutely right with Kim being twice in the paper. Unfortunately, I need lots of the nice properties that apacite provides (using & instead of and, for example). Isn't there a way to hardcode it with some trick in the bibfile or by creating one new command. – Paul Jul 21 '20 at 17:05

    Lo and behold, yes. :) It's always fun to find duplicates which are your own answers and which you have no memory of writing. Apacite: suppress initials intext? It even has Kim as the offending name! – Alan Munn Jul 21 '20 at 17:14
  • Alan was able to solve it! – Paul Jul 21 '20 at 21:15
