Useful Resources

This page is a place for me to collect and centralize resources which I think are useful for myself and, potentially, for other PhD students.

The list is mainly for my own reference, lest I fumble through countless files and endless browsing history in the future.

Math Writing/LaTeX

  • D. Bertsekas’s Ten Simple Rules for Mathematical Writing (link)
  • T. Oetiker et al’s The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX (link)
  • P. Goldsmith-Pinkham’s Tips + Tricks with Beamer for Economists (link)

Coding

  • RStudio’s ggplot2 cheat sheet (link)
  • RegExr to check/test regular expressions (link)

General PhD Advice

  • M. Weisbach’s The Economist’s Craft (link)
  • W. Thomson’s A Guide for the Young Economist (link)
  • J. Cochrane’s Writing Tips for Ph.D. Students (link)
  • A. L. Zhang’s Grad School Advice (link)
    • More geared toward prospective or aspiring PhD students. Anthony has his own list of “Useful Links” that could be extremely valuable to such people.
