That’s because I have been working a book titled Doing Economics: What You Should Have Learned in Grad School\u2015But Didn’t<\/em><\/a>, which will be published by MIT Press in May 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The book covers writing papers, giving talks, navigating peer review, finding funding, doing professional service, and advising students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As such, long-time readers of this blog will be familiar with some<\/em> of the contents of the book (an early version of chapter 2, on writing papers, for instance, can be found here<\/a>), but much of the book will feature new material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I wrote that book to foster equity and level the playing field in economics, but a lot of what I discuss is also applicable to other quantitative social sciences (e.g., business, political science, public policy), and so the book will be useful to researchers in those disciplines as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pre-orders drive the attention a book receives in terms of promotion from the publisher and from book sellers, and so if you feel so inclined, consider pre-ordering the book if you think it will be useful to you or someone you know; the book is relatively cheap at $25 for the paperback version, or $19 for the Kindle version. Here<\/a> is the Amazon pre-order link; see here<\/a> for alternative options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (With apologies to those who have seen this announcement before, either on Twitter or via the #OARES mailing list.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you subscribe to this blog via email, you may have noticed that this blog has been relatively quiet for the past year or so.…<\/p>\n
