 Stefano, Richard thanks.  After some toying, the following worked:

 1) I added to the preamble the full block Richard described, replacing the
 at's with at symbols (this replacement was probably obvious to everyone 
 except
 me.) I also changed the first line as you suggested.

 2) I added   \setlength\itemindent{-.5in} to the block, and changed
 \leftmargin\labelwidth to \setlength\leftmargin{.5in}

 The bibliography style I am using, aea.bst, seems to use empty labels rather
 than, for example, numbers to enumerate bibliography items. Hence, rather than
 playing with the labelwidth, which had no effect for me, I indented by a
 negative amount and then shoved the whole list back to the right the same
 amount.

 A pain, but it's done!  Thanks, all.

Actually, since you use natbib, a simple
\setlength\bibhang{.5in}
would have probably sufficed as well.

hanging indentation in bibiography (using lyx bibtex)

[Peter Coles]

Hi all --

A journal has requested that the hanging indent in my bibliography be exactly 
.5 
inches.  Is there an easy way to do this using lyx?

I am using lyx 2.0, bibtex, article class, natbib, and aea.bst.

Many thanks! 
Peter

Yes -- the journal is the online-only BE Journal of Theoretical Economics,
which was recently purchased by De Gruyter. They were initially a
non-profit entity, and offered free access to their journals. Presumably
self-typesetting was one way to keep costs low, and the online-only nature
made perfect standardization of type less critical.  Seems like they would
be well-served to offer some lyx/latex templates, huh?

They do have strict typesetting requirements, however -- hence my question!

I don't have time to play around with this right now, but the answer is, 
yes, of course, one can do anything in LaTeX. In this case, article.cls 
sets the bibliography using:


\newenvironment{thebibliography}[1]
 {\section*{\refname}%
  \@mkboth{\MakeUppercase\refname}{\MakeUppercase\refname}%
  \list{\@biblabel{\@arabic\c@enumiv}}%
   {\settowidth\labelwidth{\@biblabel{#1}}%
\leftmargin\labelwidth
\advance\leftmargin\labelsep
\@openbib@code
\usecounter{enumiv}%
\let\p@enumiv\@empty
\renewcommand\theenumiv{\@arabic\c@enumiv}}%
  \sloppy
  \clubpenalty4000
  \@clubpenalty \clubpenalty
  \widowpenalty4000%
  \sfcode`\.\@m}
 {\def\@noitemerr
   {\@latex@warning{Empty `thebibliography' environment}}%
  \endlist}

So the bibliography is itself set as a list, with the individual items 
set using \bibitem (which is defined in latex.ltx).


The list parameters are defined in this block:

{\settowidth\labelwidth{\@biblabel{#1}}%
\leftmargin\labelwidth
\advance\leftmargin\labelsep
\@openbib@code
\usecounter{enumiv}%
\let\p@enumiv\@empty
\renewcommand\theenumiv{\@arabic\c@enumiv}}

It's just the first few that are relevant here. See e.g.
http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lyx/ownlists.htm
for a description of what you might try changing. Ultimately, you'd need 
to do:

\renewenvironment{thebibliography}[1]{}
