Papers for PhD Fellow Students

I provide some papers written by great economists which helped me understand a bit better some things about how to do proper reasearch in economics. I hope they seem useful for other students too.

I recommend the following paper(s) for people who are doing:

1) theoritical work: Varian "How to Build an Economic Model in Your Spare Time"

Thomson "The Young Person's Guide to Writing Economic Theory"

Dixit ''My System of Work (Not!)''

2) empirical work: Cochrane "Writing Tips for Ph.D. Students"

Varian "Big Data: New Tricks for Econometrics"

3) both theoritical and empirical work: Kremer "Writing Papers: A Checklist"

I suggest also one more paper with advices for the Job Market Reseach Paper:

Goldin & Katz “The Ten Most Important Rules of Writing Your Job Market Paper”
