I just received my copy of William Thomson's excellent new book:
A Guide for the Young Economist, third edition
by William Thomson
"A newly updated edition of the definitive guide for budding economists, with a new chapter of advice for young professors.
"In clear, accessible language—a model of what he advocates—William Thomson shows early-career economists how to make written and oral presentations both inviting and effective. A Guide for the Young Economist 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 chapter of advice written especially for those young economists who have just received their PhDs. "
Here's my blurb:
“Thomson, a renowned teacher, explains clearly much of the invisible curriculum for becoming an academic economist, from pursuing a PhD to approaching tenure. Even old hands will find actionable advice.”
—Alvin E. Roth, McCaw Professor of Economics, Stanford University; author of Who Gets What—and Why and Moral Economics
But don't just take my word for it: read all the endorsements:
