Beamer Presentation

Generates LaTeX Beamer presentations structured for academic economics talks. It walks you through presentation type (conference, seminar, job market), then creates a full deck with motivation, research question, empirical strategy, and results slides. The templates use clean themes like metropolis and include timing guidance (15-20 min gets 8-10 slides, 90 min gets the full treatment with theory sections). The incremental reveal syntax and one-idea-per-slide structure are solid defaults. Built by the Awesome Econ AI Community, so the examples lean heavily on causal inference setups with treatment effects and identification strategies. Works across Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI coding tools.

Converting a paper into presentation slides

Instructions

Step 1: Understand the Context

Ask the user:

What type of presentation? (20-min conference, 90-min seminar, job market)
What's the paper/project about?
What's the target audience expertise level?
Do they have specific style preferences?

Step 2: Structure by Time

Duration	Structure
15-20 min	Motivation (2) → Question (1) → Method (2) → Results (3-4) → Conclusion (1)
45-60 min	Add literature review, more results detail, robustness
90 min	Full seminar with theoretical framework, extensive empirics
