Supported by real examples from professional and student writers, the book helps students understand what is expected of writers in their field and guides them through choosing a topic for research to writing each section of the paper.

Recenzii

"This is a clearly written, user-friendly volume on academic writing for economics and public policy. Being able to cogently deliver content based on academic research is one of the responsibilities of a researcher but can be a daunting task for a novice. This volume deconstructs the complex writing process into understandable steps which are lucidly explained with ample examples." --Judy Noguchi, Kobe Gakuin University
"Petchko presents a well-researched and thorough explanation of academic writing in economics in a comprehensive way suitable for anyone interested in economics work, including advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty. Special attention to problems faced by ESL writers. This volume demystifies economics writing and will likely become the standard." --Cynthia A. Cochran, Illinois College
"Writing a research paper is challenging for anyone, but Petchko’s book makes the process clear and straightforward. I especially like how she connects writing to the research process itself. The book will be very useful not only for students writing their first papers but also for experienced researchers who want to become even better writers."  --Tom Gally, University of Tokyo
