The Young Economist's Guide to Professional Etiquette

Daniel Hamermesh

Journal of Economic Perspectives, 1992, vol. 6, issue 1, 169-179

Abstract: Nearly all advanced graduate students and new assistant professors demonstrate naivety in their nonsubstantive professional dealings. Graduate programs in economics offer courses that lead to written drafts of important research; they teach little about how to refine those drafts and, more generally, about the personal interactions that cut and polish intellectual diamonds in the rough. I provide here a short course aimed at removing that naivety and helping young economists to avoid faux pas that might reduce their success in the profession.
