Bellemare's How to Write Applied Papers in Economics

I have blogged before about Marc Bellemare's advice on how to write an introduction, how to write a conclusion, how to write the parts in between. Well, he's now put it all together in one place and added some additional bells and whistles. You can see it all here. 

My advice: Read it from beginning to end now. Then, when you're actually writing an introduction, read the section on how to write an introduction again. Have it open while you actually write your introduction. When you have to decide where to send your "finished" paper, have another look at the section on where to send your paper. 

Writing a paper is hard. Any paper. Even a really bad paper. This handy guide simplifies the process so it becomes more doable for you. Maybe even better, your papers become more readable for your advisors, editors, referees, and just regular readers. 

Good luck!
