\section{Introduction}\label{sec:introduction}
Introduce the research question, explain why it matters, and summarize the
article's contribution. Use author-year citations such as \citet{markowitz52}
or parenthetical citations such as \citep{rockafellar02,rockafellar06}.
\section{Data and Methodology}\label{sec:data-methodology}
Describe the sample, data sources, variable construction, and empirical
strategy. Displayed equations can be referenced with \verb|\eqref|:
\begin{equation}\label{eq:model}
r_{i,t} = \alpha_i + \beta_i r_{m,t} + \varepsilon_{i,t}.
\end{equation}
\section{Results}\label{sec:results}
Report the main findings and connect them to the research question.
