In clear, accessible language—a model for what he advocates—A Guide for the Young Economist shows how to make written and oral presentations both inviting and effective. William 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 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 this new edition, the author also includes a new chapter of advice written especially for those young economists who have just received their PhDs.
