Sample Book Insights: #1 There is a hidden curriculum when it comes to doing economics. Most graduate programs do not systematically train their students in what it means to work as a research economist, even when they teach them some of the interstitial knowledge. #2 The primary means by which a researcher communicates her findings is by writing them up in the form of papers. I cover how to write papers in chapter 2. Once a researcher has written a paper, she will often seek to improve it by incorporating other researchers’ comments on her work. #3 The economics profession is full of opportunities for professional service.
