What Can You Do With a Master’s in Economics?
type: Article
title: What Can You Do With a Master’s in Economics?
description: The big divide: Academia or Industry? The options for career paths after the master's can be divided in two arenas: roles within academia, and roles in industry or the public sector. There are advantages and disadvantages of each – in industry, for example, the pay tends to be better, whilst jobs in academia are more focused on pure research. But what is the typical divide between these two options among those who have completed a master's in economics? As a case study, we can look at the data from the Barcelona Graduate School of Economics, who released a report on the destination jobs of their economics master's class of 2015. They found that 72% of graduates who had been placed entered or returned to jobs in industry, while 28% of graduates entered a PhD or other post-graduate program. Academic positions for economics graduates Compared to the data from last year (the Barcelona GSE class of 2014), there are more graduates entering industry – last year 68% went into industry, and 32% pursued further study. Generally, in tough economic times, graduates can feel attracted by the security and solid pay of industry jobs, while being put off by the insecurity of academic careers. One interesting finding, however, points to the successful path to a PhD – of those moving into doctoral programs, around half of Barcelona 2015 graduates went into international programs, in the United States, the United Kingdom, or other international institutions. The ability and willingness to move to a new location can help graduates to find PhD positions in highly regarded institutions. You can see more about the career prospects of PhDs, including the average salary for PhD students in various locations around the world, in our INOMICS 2015 Salary Report. Where Class of 2015 grads are pursuing doctoral study 24 graduates joined one of two PhDs organized with Barcelona GSE Graduate Programme in Economics, Finance, and Management - GPEFM (UPF and BGSE) International Doctorate in Economic …
disambiguating description: If you're thinking about doing a master's degree in economics, or you're already studying for one, then you're sure to be interested in the job prospects for economics students. What kind of job can you get with a master's in economics, and in what kind of organisations do graduates end up working? We covered this issue last year, but now we've got new data on the employment of economics students for this year, so we're sharing an updated perspective. Read on to find out more about the kinds of careers which are open to those who have studied a master's in economics.

Tips on How to Write an Academic Peer Review for Journals

title: Tips on How to Write an Academic Peer Review for Journals
description: Get a feel for the field If you've been asked to perform a peer review, hopefully it is in a field that you are familiar with. However, the paper you are reviewing may be in a different sub-field or use different methods to the ones you that work with. So be prepared to do some research around the topic of the paper, so that you can understand how it fits into the broader literature. If there's an important paper in the field which is not mentioned in the paper, you can suggest that the authors include this reference. Or if a similar issue has been researched in earlier years, you can suggest that the authors mention this previous debate. Make sure you're comfortable with your knowledge of the topic before you start your review. Check statistical methods, tables, and graphs One of the most important functions of peer review is checking over the data in the paper – in terms of both how it is analysed and how it is presented. Make sure that you understand the statistical tests which are used, and consider if they are the best ways to test the hypothesis of the paper. If important data is missing, such as effect sizes, then suggest that this is added in. Also carefully check graphs and tables to make sure that they are correctly labelled and that they are in accordance with the way that the authors have described their data. Are the inferences drawn by the authors in the discussion reasonable, given the data? Check references Another important task for peer reviewers is the checking of references. This is something which general readers are unlikely to do, so it's especially important for reviewers to pay attention to. When you see the authors assert a fact and back it up with a reference, go and find the paper being referenced and check whether the authors' summation of it is reasonable. This is also a good time to check whether the references are complete and formatted correctly. Make your feedback specific and constructive The best peer reviews are not combative tow…
disambiguating description: Peer review is one of the cornerstones of academic progress, and it's vital that papers are reviewed by a knowledgeable party before they are published, in order to maintain quality. You see lots of advice for authors of papers, but rather less for peer reviewers. If you've been asked to review a paper, here are some tips on how to do a great job and to provide a review which is helpful to the editors and authors.

5 Apps That Every Professor Needs to Know
type: Article
title: 5 Apps That Every Professor Needs to Know
description: 1. Keynote (iPhone/iPad) For putting together slide shows, either for lectures or for presentations at conferences, Keynote is a favourite program among professors. This app lets you create, design, edit, and present slide shows, all from your mobile device. The primary advantages of Keynote over other slide show apps is that the themes are more stylish than others, and that the presentation mode allows you to present your slides on a large screen, while you see your notes and a timer on your mobile screen. Plus, the app is designed for a touch interface, so it's easy to use and you can drag and drop the items to where you need them. If you have an Apple device, this app should be your first choice for presenting. 2. Skype (iPhone/iPad, Android, Windows Phone) It's becoming increasingly common in academia to use video chat programs for collaborating with foreign researchers or for interviewing job candidates. While not the same as an in-person meeting, video chats allow you to converse with other academics instantly, even over great distances, to get feedback on your projects or to get to know them better. Whilst some people do use programs like Apple's FaceTime, by far the most popular choice of app is Skype. It's free, fairly stable, and easy to use. If you're involved in the hiring process at your university, or if you're hunting for a new job, you'll definitely need this app. 3. LastPass (iPhone/iPad, Android, Windows Phone) Security is a real concern for anyone who regularly uses electronic devices and services, but this is especially true for professors who might have proprietary or confidential information stored on their devices. One of the biggest security flaws that makes most users vulnerable is the habit of re-using passwords on multiple sites and devices, so if someone obtains your password for one site, they can potentially access all of your confidential information. But it's also hard to remember hundreds of different passwords. The way around this i…
disambiguating description: There are lots of technological tools available to help support professors in their teaching, research, and administration. But these tools aren't just for your home computer – there are lots of apps for mobile devices which can be useful in university life too. We've covered top apps for students before, and today we're listing some of the best mobile apps for professors.

Unique alternatives to PowerPoint for your presentations
type: Article
title: Unique alternatives to PowerPoint for your presentations
description: Prezi If you're bored of typical slides and are looking for a more interactive way to present visual information, then you could use Prezi. Prezi dispenses with slides and instead lays out all your information in one large map. When you are presenting, you can select a particular area of the map to focus on, like a traditional slide, but moving between topics you can also see how this information fits into the map of other concepts. It's perfect for information which is not too text-heavy, and emphasises the relationships between content rather than giving a lot of detailed text. This means it forces you into good habits – no one wants to read a wall of text while you're presenting! So it's best to work with a few keywords or visual symbols to remind your audience of the main points of your argument, while you give the detailed information orally. If you can get out of your bad PowerPoint habits, then using a tool like Prezi can make you a better presenter – especially if you work in a highly conceptual field like philosophy. However, a note of warning: Prezi includes the ability to zoom in and out of sections and to pan quickly across your presentation. Use this feature with caution! If the movement is too fast or you use it to much, it can be disorientating for your audience or even make them feel nauseous. When it comes to special effects like zooming and panning, remember that less is more. Google Slides If you want to stick with a familiar PowerPoint-like interface, but are in need of better collaboration features than are available for Microsoft Office, then you should consider Google Slides. It's idea for when you have a presentation that you're giving together with a colleague, and you need to collaborate on the slides. As it works together with Google Docs and Google Drive, you can easily share the presentation as you are working on it, and it'll be easy for your co-workers to access and edit. You can even use the chat feature within the slides interface wh…

How to find an internship for 2016
type: Article
title: How to find an internship for 2016
description: Get started early It's important to get started early. The best internships get snapped up quickly, and generally speaking, the larger and higher-profile the company, the earlier they start looking for interns. So start looking out for companies where you could do your internship as soon as possible. Where to find an internship: at your university Credit: COD Newsroom Your university will almost certainly have resources to help you find an internship which you should take advantage of. Start at your university's careers office, and see if they have a job listing website that you can check. Often, university careers departments will be in touch with local employers and have listings for internship possibilities before anyone else. Another great resource is the network of alumni from your university. See if you can find an alumni network or mailing list, and look for anyone working in your field. If you contact an alumni and mention that you are attending their former university, they can be more inclined to help you find an opportunity. Also, find out if your university is running a careers fair or internship fair. These events give you the chance to speak to representatives of large numbers of companies who are looking for students to recruit, for internships and/or jobs. Be prepared for these events to be busy and somewhat overwhelming, so make sure you're organised in order to make the most of them. Take notes about everyone you speak to, and remember to get business cards or contact information from the representatives so that you can get in touch with them later. Where to find an internship: online Of course, there are many companies who advertise for internship positions online, and there are a number of websites which have listings of internships which you can peruse. Here at INOMICS.com we share the latest internship opportunities on our job listings pages. You can also look on sites which specialise in internship listings, such as internships.com or internma…
disambiguating description: An internship can be a great opportunity for you to get experience in the working world and to learn the skills you'll need in order to find a job once you graduate. But with so many students looking for internship opportunities, there can be fierce competition for the best internships and it can be hard to find the right setting for you. You want to make sure that the internship you choose gives you useful real-world training and the chance to get to know people working in your field and to network with prospective employers. A good internship can go a long way to selling your CV to employers once you have graduated and started job hunting. Internships are clearly important, but how can you find the one which is right for you? Today we're discussing how to find the internship you want for 2016.

Top 6 Websites for Learning a Language
type: Article
title: Top 6 Websites for Learning a Language
description: Livemocha Livemocha is a site which specialises in connecting native speakers of different languages, so that you can learn directly from someone who has a native understanding of the language you wish to learn. If you enjoy a more personal and friendly approach to learning than a standardised list of terms to learn, then Livemocha might be for you. The structured program includes elements of reading, writing, speaking, and listening, which you practise alone first and then with others. You can even book a private tutor if you need extra support. Although some services are paid, you can earn credits for the site by tutoring others in your native language. This can bring an unexpected advantage – there's no better way to understand your own learning needs than to experience teaching others. BBC Languages The languages website offered by the BBC (the public-service broadcaster of the United Kingdom) offers a huge amount of free information on over 40 languages, including English. The site focuses on helpful factual information rather than flashy imagery, with a no-frills approach to sharing the basics. The strength of the site is in the lessons offered on learning a specific language – choosing from French, Spanish, Italian, German, Chinese, Portuguese, or Greek – which are comprehensive and easy to follow. The site also offers pages aimed at children who are learning a language for fun or for a school test, which is great if you have a family and would like to learn together with them. Duolingo & Memrise We already discussed Duolingo and Memrise in our Top Apps for Learning a Language post, but it's worth noting that both companies have a free to use website as well as their mobile apps. You can practise your reading, writing and listening, and if you have a microphone plugged into your computer you can even practise your speaking and pronunciation too. Duolingo is great for those learners who like to pick up a little bit of information at a time, fitting their learn…
disambiguating description: When you're looking to learn a new language, there are all sorts of websites which can help support your learning. Some have lists of vocabulary, interactive games, or practise scenarios which you can work on. Others can use your computer's speakers and microphone to help you with your listening and speaking. Below we're listing some of the most useful websites for learning a language.

For-profit universities: How to avoid "diploma mill" institutions
type: Article
title: For-profit universities: How to avoid "diploma mill" institutions
description: One of the most obvious changes to the industry is the growth of the for-profit university, and academics around the world are considering how this change affects both their jobs, and the future of the education sector. What are for-profit universities? Over the last few years, debate has intensified over the role of for-profit institutions in the higher education system. Even as tuition fees rise in the US and elsewhere, more and more people want to become students, especially in this time of economic instability. Investing in education has traditionally been considered a wise and prudent move; as a higher education degree marks out an individual as highly qualified and capable, it is greatly beneficial to their career prospects. However, with tuition fees becoming so expensive that students have to take out huge loans which they may never be able to pay back, some people argue that certain degrees are just not worth the money which students must spend in order to obtain them. This is particularly relevant in the case of for-profit institutions, which charge even higher tuition fees than non-profit institutions. Some for-profit universities also have a reputation for unsavoury recruiting practises, in which recruiters focus on military veterans, single mothers, and on individuals with low incomes and not much experience in education, then pursue them aggressively. There are also claims that recruiters deliberately mislead recruits by sharing inaccurate job-placement statistics, giving false information about loans and putting unreasonable pressure on potential students. What's the problem with for-profit universities? Aside from the issues of tuition fees and recruitment practises, it seems like universities could in theory be run like any other business; they provide a product which consumers want and are willing to pay for. However, a further issue arises with the issue of assessment of students. Students are paying large amounts of money to attend for-profit uni…
disambiguating description: As an academic, you may feel somewhat insulated from the profit-driven business world. Certainly, academia has traditionally been regarded as an enclave separated from corporate concerns over profits; one which is supported by governments and individuals and focuses on teaching and research rather than on making money. However, with the huge growth of the education industry over the last few decades, institutions have necessarily become more corporate.

Top 5 Digital Tools For Professors

title: Top 5 Digital Tools For Professors
description: Dropbox When you have files that you need to access from your home computer, your work computer, and your laptop or smartphone, Dropbox is invaluable. It is a service which syncs your files between as many different machines as you like. One you have installed the program, any changes you make to a file in the specified folder will be reflected at all other locations. This means that your important files are always up to date and always accessible from anywhere. For professors, you can keep all your notes for a class safely and conveniently in one location. And if you need to share files with your class, you can set up a public folder and give your students a web link from which they can download the files they need. Available for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iPhone, Blackberry, Kindle Fire and Windows Phone from www.dropbox.com Evernote If you have a chaotic note-taking system it can be difficult to find the notes you need when you come back to them at a later time. In order to keep all of your notes organised and categorised, you can use Evernote. This allows you to save text notes, to-do lists, photographs and more to a central scrapbook. You can then tag and organise these notes in a way that suits your working style. Most usefully, all notes are searchable. Even if you like to write your notes by hand, you can photograph the notes using your smartphone camera, and once you upload the photo the text will be searchable. This is greatly beneficial if you're always scribbling down important information and then struggling to find it later. Available for Windows, Mac, Android, iPhone, and Windows Phone from www.evernote.com Google Docs Google Docs allows you to create and edit word processing documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, through an online interface. Already this is useful if you need to create a document while you are on the go and don't have access to a computer with a full Office suite. Better still, it allows you to share your documents with other…

How To Apply For A PostDoc Grant or Fellowship
type: Article
title: How To Apply For A PostDoc Grant or Fellowship
description: What is a postdoc fellowship or grant? A postdoctoral grant or fellowship provides funding for a research project directly to you. The funding will cover your own salary, your research expenses, and possibly salaries for other workers such as PhD students or student assistants to work on your project. The primary advantage of having your own funding is that you can go and work in a group of your choosing. Most departments are very happy to accept a postdoc researcher who brings their own funding, and the department can provide administrative support and working space for your project. A further advantage is that your funding can be transferred with you – if, for example, you have a 5-year grant and you decide to move to a different university after two years, you can generally take the remaining three years of funding to your new department. The ability to attract research funding is also important for hiring decisions at a senior level in academia. If you wish to eventually become a professor, then a strong track record of attracting funding is important. Winning a postdoctoral grant or fellowship is a positive demonstration of your ability to plan for and apply for external funding, and shows that you are capable of not only performing excellent research, but also securing the support of third-party organisations, which is very important to university departments. Setting up a project To begin applying for a fellowship or grant, you must first choose a project idea. Obviously the type of project which is appropriate for a fellowship application varies a lot between academic disciplines. However, there are some commonalities which can help to guide you. Firstly, it is often helpful for your project to be a natural extension of your PhD project. This way, you already have a great deal of knowledge about the topic, and you have already demonstrated the ability to plan and execute a project in this area. If you wish to pursue a project in a new area of research, you'l…
disambiguating description: If you've completed your PhD and are looking for a postdoctoral position, career progression can be intimidating and stressful. To help guide you through this transition, we offer here a guide for finding and applying for postdoctoral funding. Although some departments advertise for postdoc positions involving researching, technical support or teaching which is needed by the group, if your research does not align exactly with the research priorities of a lab it may be hard to find an appropriate position. The best option for many researchers is to apply for a postdoc grant or fellowship.

How to Enhance the Impact of Your Research
type: Article
title: How to Enhance the Impact of Your Research
description: If you have just published an article about which you feel extremely passionate, the idea that it will likely just become a citation in someone’s dissertation down the line can be a bit disconcerting. As this post from the London School of Economics and Political Science points out, the best strategy for creating a lasting impact is targeted and sustained knowledge exchange. In this article, we will delve into four key areas to focus on in order to create an impact with your research – regardless of whether your goal is simply to expand your readership or to directly target policymakers in order to advocate evidence-based change. Media In order for the media to report on your research, they have to view it as “newsworthy.” Although you might find your research groundbreaking, you need to use concrete strategies for conveying your message to other people. As this piece from the Research to Action Helpdesk suggests, you should write multiple media specific single-page summaries of your work. These should take context, audience and type of media into account and frame your work to suit these factors. A well-written, targeted press release can go a long way, particularly if you’ve taken the time to find the individual email addresses of journalists in a relevant field. The more press releases and media summaries you send out, the more likely it is that your research will get picked up as a story. Online Visibility Beyond traditional media, social media and online academic networks are important platforms for putting your work out there. How many times have you looked at an article simply because one of your friends posted it somewhere in your social network? By adding keywords, captions, titles, subheadings and clear abstracts to each of your articles, they are more likely to be picked up by and spread across social media, including Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, etc. Uploading your work onto platforms such as Google Scholar, Pubmed and Academia.edu will boost your audien…
disambiguating description: While we all know the importance of publishing widely in terms of moving forward in an academic career, what is sometimes left out of the discussion is how to make sure that your research has an actual impact in the community it is addressing, or in the world at large. If you would like your research to be read beyond the gates of the ivory tower, you need to know how to effectively promote yourself and your work.

Teaching Tips for New Professors and Lecturers
type: Article
title: Teaching Tips for New Professors and Lecturers
description: 1. Ask for Advice It’s important to remember that everyone was new at some point. Whether before, during or after your first semester, don’t hesitate to reach out to colleagues for advice and assistance. As almost everyone previously in this position will attest, other faculty members can give you specific advice about your institution and help you understand the nuances of what it’s like to work there – use them! It’s also useful to remember that no one is expecting perfection from day one – or day fifty for that matter – so asking questions, rather than showing ignorance as it sometimes can feel like, is just the sensible and smart thing to do. 2. Define Clear Goals This goes for both you and for your students. In the first few sessions, make it clear to your students what you hope to achieve and how you plan on getting there. Don’t simply go over the syllabus. Instead, explain to students why you chose the content and how you expect to tackle it together. Students will appreciate the time you take elaborating why week 2 is macro rather than microeconomics, and why Keynes comes before Friedman. Having them on board from the get-go, feeling part of the process –teaching is after all a two way street – will stand you in good stead. 3. Establish Your Role Early On While high school students tend to be a bit more aggressive than college students when it comes to jumping on a teacher’s vulnerabilities, it’s still incredibly important to show that you are the boss straight away – and first impressions in this regard are particularly important. Building back respect after a bad first few weeks is difficult. Avoid this by asserting yourself from the get-go. You needn’t overly impose yourself, just show your class that there are some lines that cannot be crossed. If you feel nervous, remember that you have earned this position and that it’s yours alone. 4. Always Be Prepared (And Prepared to Change) One of the best ways to establish yourself as an authority in the classroo…
disambiguating description: Although most new professors have already clocked countless hours in the classroom as teaching assistants, the shift to being the sole authority in the room can be a scary one. No matter how prepared you might feel, the first days (or weeks or months) at any new job tend to be a bit overwhelming – and that's totally normal. So, whether you feel like legging it home and hiding under the covers until winter break, or you just need a little extra boost to get you on the right track, the following 10 tips will help you stay motivated, organized and have you ready for the coming academic year and all it’s likely to throw at you.

How to Make the Most of a Post Doc or Junior Researcher Position
type: Article
title: How to Make the Most of a Post Doc or Junior Researcher Position
description: Yet, some recent graduates feel so overwhelmed by the dissertation process that they use a post doc as something akin to academic downtime. While this might be tempting, it is important to remember that the beginning of your career can set the tone for years to come. In today’s highly competitive academic market, having multiple publications and presentations on your CV within the first few years of your career can help you immensely in landing a desired position down the road. In order to make the most of your time as a post doctoral or junior researcher, you should communicate openly and clearly with the primary investigators and/or your advisor about your aims and interests going into the job. As the authors of a recent article in the Chronicle of Higher Education note, it is important to make a plan regarding what you would like to accomplish in your position. Some advisors will even suggest that you work together to draft a clear individual development plan. When doing so, be sure to keep in mind all possible opportunities you might be able to engage in during your post doc. These include: Organizing a symposium Writing literature reviews Co-authoring research Teaching courses Writing grant proposals Attending conferences Moreover, beyond engaging in such activities, it is also important to make use of the great human resources surrounding you. In addition to the PIs, the other junior researchers also present great opportunities for collaboration. By working with peers, you create chances for long-term connections and build a broader network. Outside of the lab or institute, networking at conferences and meetings is also an essential part of making the most of your time as a post doc. The best way to get your name out there is to attend as many relevant events as possible, presenting research, showing posters, or even just talking to fellow researchers. While introducing yourself to someone important in your discipline might seem awkward at first, you will soon…
disambiguating description: For many recent PhDs and other doctoral graduates, the first step in an academic career is at least one, if not two or three post doc or junior researcher positions. Regardless of which department you work in, such a position is a great way to make connections, publish your research, add experience to your CV and get a feel for life as an academic.

Online Courses for Professional Development or Continuing Education
type: Article
title: Online Courses for Professional Development or Continuing Education
description: In the digital age we live in now, however, the range of options for online professional development has expanded exponentially. Now, even if you don’t live in a location with great continuing education resources nearby, you can easily tap into the top-notch online opportunities available to professionals around the world. There are numerous well-renowned universities that offer myriad professional development courses, many of which provide certificates of completion. Additionally, there is also a growing number of online only schools and organizations that offer courses specifically to professionals. Among these, some offer courses free of charge in the name of open access education. In previous posts we’ve focused solely on free online courses in particular disciplines, such as statistics and data analysis, mathematics and econometrics, as well as delving into MOOCS, or Massive Open Online Courses. While we find free knowledge sharing incredibly valuable, unfortunately free resources aren’t always sufficient. For this reason, we have highlighted the schools and organizations that offer free courses, but also recommend taking a look at the other courses if you are interested in professional development, particularly if you would like to earn an end of course certificate. Below you can find a two-part list, beginning with university-based online courses and ending with online only resources. The number and type of courses ranges widely, meaning that you can likely find almost any type of course you might be looking for. Courses offered through universities often follow the semester calendar, while other courses might be shorter, more intensive or allow participants to pick their pace. University based: Cornell University – focus on communications, business, finance and healthcare Duke University – focus on human resources, legal professions, community development Harvard University – courses across all disciplines and levels Stanford University – courses across all …
disambiguating description: Many people who are already years or decades into their careers find themselves wanting to build upon their skillsets and expand their professional qualifications. Perhaps they want to make a career change, feel stuck in a mid-level position but lack the qualifications necessary for advancement, or perhaps they are just interested in gaining new knowledge but don’t have the time or means to head back to school. In the past, people in such situations could enroll in evening or weekend courses at community centers or continuing education departments at local universities.

Popular Fields in Economics – Which Conference Topics are Most Relevant?
type: Article
title: Popular Fields in Economics – Which Conference Topics are Most Relevant?
description: Many interesting comparisons can be drawn with this data, particularly regarding which fields of specialization are most popular in each country, and what percentage of survey respondents continue to work in their areas of study. In the above chart it can be seen that Macroeconomics & Monetary Economics are at the top overall, with 12% of respondents having specialized in this field during their studies. While 10% of all respondents chose Other, International Economics and Financial Economics were each chosen by 9% of respondents across the globe. In Spain, Microeconomics was the top field of specialization (13%), while Germany, Switzerland & Austria reflected the global trend, with 12% of respondents citing Macroeconomics & Monetary Economics as their field. Interestingly, Latin America showed an even higher percentage, where 16% of respondents chose this popular field, while in North America Agricultural and Natural Resource Economics, Environmental and Ecological Economics and Financial Economics were each most chosen. When examining the percentage of respondents who remained within their field of specialization when moving on to a job or a higher degree, quite a range can once again be seen across countries, though overall more than a third (35%) of respondents changed specializations. This level of flexibility reflects a high degree of adaptation amongst academics today, indicating a willingness to gain new expertise while also putting old skills to use. Such data could be of great use when planning conferences in various countries, potentially targeting both those areas where certain specializations are strongest and also those most diverse. For specific information about fields of specialization in countries such as Spain, Germany, Switzerland & Austria or the United States & Canada, download full reports here. You can also download the Worldwide Overview, which contains more details on this and many other subjects.
