This is post is for you grad. students in econometrics. In most parts of the world you'll be working in an economics department, so the links that follow should be pretty relevant:
- John Cawley, A Guide and Advice for Economists on the U.S. Junior Academic Job Market
- Kwan Choi, Advice for Acadmic Authors
- John Cochrane, Writing Tips for Ph.D. Students
- Don Davis, Ph.D. Thesis Research: Where do I Start?
- Daniel Hamermesh, The Young Economist's Guide to Professional Etiquette
- Darren Lubotsky, A Few Tips for Being a More Sucessful Graduate Student
- Matthew Pearson, How to Survive Your First Year of Graduate School in Economics
- Ariel Rubinstein, 10 Q&A: Experienced Advice for "Lost" Graduate Students in Economics
- Jonathon Shewchuk, Giving an Academic Talk
I can also recommend the blog, The Professor Is In. Authored by anthropologist Karen Kelsky, it offers much sage advice to grad. students of all stripes. Including econometricians!

Econ-Art by Rick Szostak is the only thing that got me through grad school.
ReplyDeleteIs there any advice for young econometricans? Few econometricans talk about their research experiences...
