Writing as a Tool for Economic Research

Esther M. Colvin and Ronald L. Mighell

Journal of Agricultural Economics Research, 1957, vol. 09, issue 4, 8

Abstract: This article calls attention to the usefulness of an often neglected but basic tool of the economist's trade—the art of writing so as to carry ideas as exactly as possible from one mind to another, and sometimes from one part of one mind to another part of the same mind. Writing is a tool both in doing research and in presenting research results.
