Guide for the Young Economist by William Thomson

This book is an invaluable guide for young economists working on their dissertations, preparing their first articles for submission to professional journals, getting ready for their first presentations at conferences and job seminars, or facing their first refereeing assignments. In clear, concise language--a model for what he advocates--William Thomson shows how to make written and oral presentations both inviting and efficient. Thomson covers the basics of clear exposition, including such nuts-and-bolts topics as titling papers, writing abstracts, presenting research results, and holding an audience's attention.

"This Guide should be read by every young economist under the age of 90...The book is truly beautifully written...BUY THIS BOOK!" Daniel S. Hamermesh, University of Texas at Austin and NBER Southern Economic Journal "Thomson provides a solid, in-depth introduction to some of the most important aspects of writing and presenting economic reports and papers, which will be particularly valuable to graduate students, new faculty, and professionals wishing to present their research in a clear, effective manner." D. O. Lee, Mississippi State University CHOICE
