As in the previous year, All About Finance is inviting again PhD students working on the field of Macro-Finance that are in the job market this year to write a blog post describing their paper .
Examples of topics that we cover in the blog include subfields such as financial intermediation, banking, corporate finance, financial access and international finance. (Note: If your paper is an impact evaluation or applied micro work, you should consider sending a blog post to Development Impact).
We will accept submissions through Friday, November 18. Blog posts will be selected based on their fit with All About Finance.
When preparing your blog post, note that:
- It should not exceed 1,000 words.
- We recommend including 1 or 2 figures.
- In addition to your post, please send us: a link to your paper, your short bio, and the URL of your job market webpage.
As for tips when writing your blog, we encourage you to avoid highly technical descriptions of your paper. Simple is better. State your research question. Motivate its importance. Briefly discuss your methodology. Finally, summarize your main findings, emphasizing their policy relevance.
Once you are ready, submit all your materials to wb.allaboutfinance@gmail.com. We will respond to you within a couple of weeks of your submission.
