William Thomson is Elmer B. Milliman Professor of Economics at the University of Rochester.
This book is an invaluable handbook 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 undertaking their first refereeing assignments. In clear, concise language--a model in itself--William Thomson describes how to make written and oral presentations both engaging and efficient. Declaring "I would certainly take up arms for clarity, simplicity, and unity," 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 second edition features a substantial new chapter, "Being a Graduate Student in Economics," that offers guidance on such essential topics as the manners and mores of graduate school life, financial support, selecting an advisor, and navigating the job market. The chapter on giving talks has been rewritten to reflect the widespread use of presentation software, and new material has been added to the chapter on writing papers.
"This slim volume, by University of Rochester economics professor William Thomson, deserves a place on the bookshelf next to classics such as Strunk and White's The Elements of Style and Kernighan and Plauger's The Elements of Programming Style. Like those classics, it is clear and direct, focused and well-written...Thomson's advice is breathtakingly sensible"

相當不錯的一本,給齣瞭很多非常有用的建議,學經濟的童鞋應該拜讀一下,不過貌似更適閤那些想在學術領域從業的經濟學學生
評分我總覺得大學教育雖然培養瞭自學能力和思考能力 但是很多細節和規則還是需要有人教的 這本書裏的建議都很實用
評分適閤美國研究生(當然也有通用的部份)
評分寫論文的部分到瞭要開始寫的時候再看吧 過於研究生生活的部分寫得挺有藉鑒意義
