Professional etiquette for the mature economist

Article Abstract:

Avoiding exaggeration and contradictions are among the techniques for writing a letter of reference for a student or colleague. A discussant should make a genuine effort to improve the quality of the research under discussion. An economist invited to present a paper at a conference should never talk down to an audience and should give ample notice if a cancellation becomes necessary. The professional etiquette involved in preparing a resume and looking for another position is also discussed.

When we work

Article Abstract:

An analysis of time management decision developments reveals that there have been important historical and contemporary changes on work and leisure timing within a day and that the subject has received little attention. The study also shows that work and leisure decisions have changes not only within a daily cycle but over the yearly, monthly and weekly cycles and that these changes are amenable to economic analysis.
