Summary of Marc F. Bellemare's Doing Economics

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#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. However, in order to figure out how to get to do a specific kind of service, the average early-career researcher would be at a loss.
