Ask Me Anything
Mailbag column
I think my following is large enough now that I might reasonably do an ask me anything. Feel free to ask questions below. I will respond to some immediately, and write up fuller responses by next week.
The mailbag column next week will be partially paywalled, so please be sure to subscribe to read. I must make a living somehow!
Do you agree that economists are uniquely bad at presenting their work to public audiences? Context to my question is that this does not seem to be a problem facing psychologists for example whereas pop economics books are filled with anthropological accounts and no discussion of econometric traps and resolutions. Is this a result of the poor training economists receive in articulation or are conceptual ideas in economics fundamentally more difficult to communicate? I am interested in your thoughts seeing as you communicate the methodology of the field so effectively and persuasively.
How can a chud like me, make his econ predoc applications standout?
