This PR addresses grammar and spelling issues throughout the amss.md lecture on "Optimal Taxation without State-Contingent Debt" to improve readability and ensure alignment with academic writing standards.

Key improvements made:

Grammar and sentence structure:

  • Fixed missing articles and prepositions ("In each period" vs "Each period")
  • Corrected verb usage ("give probabilities" vs "tell probabilities")
  • Improved technical precision ("equal to unity" vs "to unity")
  • Split overly complex sentences for better clarity
  • Fixed redundant constructions and repetitive phrasing

Academic writing style:

  • Replaced contractions with formal language ("let us" vs "let's")
  • Enhanced precision in technical language ("with certainty" vs "for sure", "possibility" vs "prospect")
  • Removed informal constructions while maintaining accessibility
  • Improved logical flow between complex economic concepts

Formatting and consistency:

  • Corrected punctuation and spacing issues
  • Fixed spelling errors ("facilitates" vs "facilities")
  • Cleaned up code formatting and line continuations
  • Ensured consistent terminology usage throughout

Example of improvements:

- Each period a representative household is endowed with one unit of time that can be divided between leisure
+ In each period, a representative household is endowed with one unit of time that can be divided between leisure

- The expression on the right side of {eq}`TS_gov_wo4a` in the Lucas-Stokey (1983) economy would equal the present value of a continuation stream of government net-of-interest surpluses evaluated at what would be competitive equilibrium Arrow-Debreu prices at date $t$.
+ The expression on the right side of {eq}`TS_gov_wo4a` in the Lucas-Stokey (1983) economy would equal the present value of a continuation stream of government net-of-interest surpluses.
+ This present value would be evaluated at what would be competitive equilibrium Arrow-Debreu prices at date $t$.

All mathematical notation, equations, citations, and technical content remain unchanged to preserve accuracy. The MyST markdown syntax has been validated to ensure the document builds correctly.

Fixes #234.
