I would like to add parentheses to the year in the bibliography of a paper (i.e., Kyle, A. S. (1985). etc.). Unfortunately, the journal .bst file is not quite correct on this point. The link to the .bst file is at:
http://rfssfs.org/files/2012/09/RFS-BibTeX-style-file-010414.pdf
I have been unsuccessful altering the format.date function to accomplish this based on related questions. Below is a MWE:
\documentclass[11pt, letterpaper,doublespacing]{article}
\usepackage{setspace}
\makeatother
\usepackage{ntheorem}
\RequirePackage{amsmath,amsfonts,amssymb,xcolor,graphicx,natbib,booktabs,geometry,chngcntr,comment,array,dcolumn,subfig, lscape, longtable}
\usepackage[title]{appendix}
\usepackage[labelfont=bf,labelsep=newline]{caption} %Make Table and Figure bold
\theoremstyle{plain} %COMMENTED 10/6/14
\begin{document}
\cite{Kyle_Econ_1985} is a seminal paper.
\bibliographystyle{rfs}
\bibliography{mwe_bib}
\end{document}
Here is the .bib entry:
@ARTICLE{Kyle_Econ_1985,
author = {Kyle, Albert S.},
title = {Continuous Auctions and Insider Trading},
journal = {Econometrica},
year = {1985},
volume = {53},
pages = {1315--1336},
}
