Tips on attending an international conference
type: Article
title: Tips on attending an international conference
description: It's likely that English will be the most commonly used language Unless otherwise specified in the conference advertisements and materials, it's highly likely that an international conference will be held in English. That means that the talks and posters will be in English, discussions will be in English, and administration and supporting materials such as the conference handbook will be in English too. In general, even social conversations will take place in English. If you're a non-native English speaker, don't worry, as no one will expect your English to be perfect. Lots of attendees at the conference will be non-native speakers too, so you just need enough English to be able to converse – it doesn't need to be flawless. But having a little of the local language is useful too However, if you're travelling to a non-English speaking country, it can be fun and useful to pick up a few words of the local language before you go. You're not likely to need much, but it's ever so helpful when travelling to have a few basic terms, such as please, thank you, hotel, a few words for food and drink items, and so on. Make yourself small flashcards or keep notes on your phone to study briefly before you leave. If in doubt, you can probably find someone who speaks English in most places in Europe, but it's more respectful to make an effort to speak a little bit of the local language, even if it's only a few words. Native English speakers, simplify your language use As an international conference will have attendees from all over the world, many of whom will have English as a non-native language, it's important for English native speakers to be considerate. When you are at the conference, try to speak more slowly than you usually would, and avoid using distinctive idioms or technical jargon terms. This can help non-native speakers to understand you more easily, so you can better engage with them. Research maps and transport before you leave If you're travelling to a new country fo…

Or perhaps your first conference will be a large international one. In either case, there are some tips that you should keep in mind when attending an international conference specifically. Here is our advice on preparing for and attending an international conference.

How to write an abstract for conference paper
type: Article
title: How to write an abstract for conference paper
description: If you want to present at a conference, you'll need to send in an application to the conference organisers. As part of this application, you will have to include an abstract which summarises the work which you are planning to present. Here are our tips on writing an abstract for a conference paper, to give you the best chance of being invited to present. Use the usual abstract structure The abstract for your paper should be similar to the abstract you would write for a journal article or other academic purpose. You should use the same structure for your abstract (such as introduction – methodology – results – discussion) that you would normally use in your field. This structure will help you to convey all the relevant information in just a few hundred words. Remember not to be too technical or to use specialist jargon in your abstract, so that it can be understood by people who are outside of your particular sub-field. Also, take note of the word count allowed, and do not go over this. It's fine to present preliminary results, but mark them as such One advantage of a conference presentation is that, unlike a teaching presentation or a written paper, it's fine to show preliminary results. If you have started but not yet completed your data analysis, or if you have found something interesting but you want to run more tests before officially publishing it, you can still present what you have found so far at a conference. In fact, one of the advantages of attending conferences is getting to hear about new work before it is published. But if you do present preliminary data, but sure to mark it and announce it as such, and mention any uncertainties you have or tests you would like to perform on it in the future. This way you can get guidance or suggestions from other attendees regarding your speculations, and the audience will understand that the results you are presenting are not fully peer reviewed or finalised. You can be speculative, more so than in a paper Another di…
disambiguating description: If you want to get your work out to the academic community before you publish it, then presenting at a conference is an excellent opportunity. When you give a talk or present a poster to a conference audience, you can share your work, gather feedback and new ideas from other attendees, and raise your own profile as a researcher.

Where To Pursue an Academic Career as an Economist: USA vs Europe
type: Article
title: Where To Pursue an Academic Career as an Economist: USA vs Europe
description: Reputation and Career Possibilities Many of the most highly regarded institutions in the academic world are based in the USA. If you are looking to work in the very best institutions in your field, these may well be in the USA. This is not to say that there are not world-leading institutions in Europe, but that there are a greater concentration of the most highly regarded universities in the USA. There are also stronger links between institutions within the USA than between those in the USA and those within Europe, so if you have landed a job in a prestigious USA institution then it will be easier for you to get another job in the USA than if you were applying from Europe. In pure prestige terms, the USA is broadly regarded as the best place to be for your academic career. Compensation and Financial Considerations It is generally regarded that salaries in the USA are higher than in Europe. Our INOMICS Salary Report 2016 included a survey of salaries of academics working in economics and related disciplines (such as finance, accounting, statistics, business, and marketing), the vast majority of whom had a PhD or higher degree. It showed that economists in both academia and in the private sector had higher average salaries in Northern America than they did in Western Europe or Asia. To learn more about worldwide salary by gender and region, please visit this page to download the full report for free. In fact, when looking at academia, average salaries in North America for academics we nearly twice the worldwide average - $141,704 being the average of survey respondents in North America, compared to an average of $79,138 worldwide. The largest divergence of salaries between North American and Western Europe comes in the more senior levels, with salaries for PhD candidates and teaching assistants being similar between the two regions, but salaries for associate professors and full professors being much higher in the USA. Quality of Life Naturally, the quality of life th…

Meet Vladimir: an Associate Professor of Economics at Ewha Womans University in Seoul
type: Article
title: Meet Vladimir: an Associate Professor of Economics at Ewha Womans University in Seoul
description: We asked Vladimir about his impressions from the conference and his academic experience. We share his thoughts below. Conference Impressions Why did you choose this workshop among others? Because it promised to be a high-quality, intensive (two-day) workshop on a narrow theme (health later in life), during which all participants would attend all sessions and give good constructive feedback. How did you spend time in Groningen and how is your overall impression from the workshop? I ended up spending four days in Groningen, sightseeing and enjoying local cuisine. The workshop was what it had promised to be. There was a lot of high-quality interaction. Many participants used similar analytical methods and datasources (European survey of the elderly; one participant using similar Chinese data, myself using Korean data), and several distinguished researchers were in attendance, so the debate was advanced and technical. Which other international conferences or workshops have you attended and how were they useful for your career? I have attended a number of conferences of various formats, from large congresses such as the ASSA meetings, through technical workshops such as this, to conferences of regional associations covering all fields of Economics. Not all conferences are useful, and probably it is the less renowned, more get-down-to-work workshops that have been the most valuable, facilitating useful networking and feedback on presentations, and publicizing presented papers to relevant research communities through dedicated websites. What is the importance of networking for you and what do you do to extend your network? I have benefited from networking in a number of ways, probably including ways that I am not even aware of. I was offered a consultancy engagement, and an opportunity to write a technical paper for an international organization, and I was invited to apply for a job which I ended up getting hired for. I have also been able to collaborate with several high-…

The Narrowing of the Gender Pay Gap For Professors in North America
type: Article
title: The Narrowing of the Gender Pay Gap For Professors in North America
description: The INOMICS Salary Report 2016 has shown the average salary earned by both sexes at different professional and academic levels, in varying geographical regions. The overall finding relating to the gender pay gap is that it still exists at every level in academia and in the private sector and that the difference in remuneration is greatest among Full Professors whereby female full professors earn on average, 23% less than their male counterparts. Interestingly however, even though male respondents in the private sector earn 47% more than their female counterparts, in academia, female Full Professors earn a higher salary than the male Full Professors which suggests a closing of the gender pay gap among North American Full Professors. In the United Kingdom, there is an almost complete inversion of the existing gender pay gap in the North American labor market. Male Full Professors in the United Kingdom earn 32% more than their female counterparts whereas in the private sector, women earn slightly more. Largely, the gender pay gap still exists in academia and the private sector in almost every region and at every level surveyed. However, the anomaly is North America where female Full Professors earn more than their male counterparts, suggesting that the gender pay gap in North America is closing, among Full Professors. To learn more about worldwide salary by gender and region, please visit this page to download the full report for free. Information in the graph is based on the INOMICS Salary Report 2016. The report reflects job market and salary trends for economists, ranging from those just starting their Master’s to those working as senior professors or researchers in academia and the private sector. Key findings include: ✓ Professors consider research publications more relevant for their employability than teaching skills. ✓ The gender pay-gap for economics professors at North American universities seems to have narrowed to the point of non-existence. If anything, fe…

Will Obtaining a PhD in Economics Guarantee a Higher Salary in the Future?

title: Will Obtaining a PhD in Economics Guarantee a Higher Salary in the Future?
description: The INOMICS Salary Report 2016 endeavored to determine, among other things, the answer to this question; as to whether furthering one’s education has a positive effect on the growth of one’s salary and how exactly the relationship functions between the highest level of education achieved and remuneration received. The report found that the level of education achieved had a positive correlation to the average salary of the respondents. It was found that as one climbs the academic qualification ladder, their salary increases. In fact, holders of a Master’s degree earned 35% more than those who held a Bachelor’s degree alone. Further, those who had obtained a PhD earned 111% more than those whose highest degree was a Master’s. The resultant conclusion is that obtaining a PhD is financially beneficial to the holder in the long run. Information in the graph is based on the INOMICS Salary Report 2016. The report reflects job market and salary trends for economists, ranging from those just starting their Master’s to those working as senior professors or researchers in academia and the private sector. Key findings include: ✓ Professors consider research publications more relevant for their employability than teaching skills. ✓ The gender pay-gap for economics professors at North American universities seems to have narrowed to the point of non-existence. If anything, female academics seem to earn slightly more than their male counterparts. ✓ Salary is not a primary motivator, although it has a demotivating effect if too low. ✓ A higher salary is considered as more important in some regions, for example in Asia, especially among people working outside of academia.

10 New Year's Resolutions for an Academic Teacher of Economics
type: Article
title: 10 New Year's Resolutions for an Academic Teacher of Economics
description: 1. I will read more and keep up to date on events in my field – and in related fields like business, finance, and sociology. You're busy enough as a teacher, with lessons to plan, lecturers to give, and essays to mark, but try to make some time to stay informed about the latest news and developments in your field, so that you can give your students the best possible information. 2. I will make time for as many of my students as possible – even those who are struggling or who aren't good at asking for help. It's no problem to help a student who visits during your office hours and asks clear, direct, and easily-answered questions. But also try to reach out to students who seem like they might be struggling, and let them know that you're there to help. That might be the confidence booster that they need. 3. I will give out information about assignments as early as I can, so that my students have time to prepare. Schedules and timetables are always changing, and it's not always possible to give out all the information on your course right at the beginning. But if you can, give your students information about their classes generally and their assignments specifically as early as possible, so that they can plan and do their best work. 4. I will encourage my students to speak up in class, to debate with each other, and to keep learning outside of the classroom. You know that teaching is much more than just sharing information – it's about encouraging independent and critical thought too. As much as you can, plan your lessons to give students practice at these important life skills. 5. I will be as responsive to student emails as I can be – even if my replies are only brief. Email is the bane of many a teacher! With some students sending in emails which are unprofessional or which ask for information which is clearly in the course handbook, it can be frustrating and it's tempting to ignore these messages. But try to respond to emails in a timely manner, even if your reply i…

How to Find An Economics Job in an International Organisation
type: Article
title: How to Find An Economics Job in an International Organisation
description: For career opportunities and job listings in business, finance, and economics, take a look at our jobs section Volunteering One of the most common ways to start working at an international organisation is by volunteering during your free time. If you have a few weeks free over the summer, or you can spare a few hours once a week, then this is a great way to see how an organisation operates up close. However, remember that although volunteering can be a way to get your foot in the door at an organisation, it can be extremely difficult to turn a volunteer position into a paid job. In order to land a paid position, you'll need to work on your CV and your skills. Build up your essential skills In order to be successful in a job in an international organisation, a passion for the mission is important – but it's not enough! You need to show practical skills which will be useful to the organisation you want to work for. Too many students are given the impression that good grades and passion are enough to land them a job, when in fact skills and experience are needed too. So start working on the skills that are important in a job – things like project management, administration, budgeting, or fundraising. These might not be the flashiest sounding achievements, but they are what the day-to-day work of jobs at an international organisation will often involve. So any chance you get to practise these skills you should take up. If you've had a summer job in administration, for example, that's useful experience. Or perhaps you've lead a group project to a successful conclusion, showing your talents at project management. Focus on specific skills for economists As an economist, there are certain skills which you will have acquired during your studies which are helpful for careers in international organisations. Skills like data analysis and high levels of numeracy make you stand out from other job applicants, as they are directly useful for performing research and writing reports.…
disambiguating description: If you're working on your economics degree, you might be wondering about what career options are open to you before.

5 Apps That Every Conference Attendee Needs to Have

title: 5 Apps That Every Conference Attendee Needs to Have
description: The official conference app Some conference organisers now put out their own app for the conference, which might include information on the times and locations for talks, venue room plans and maps, information on travel, and lots more. If your conference offers such an app, do download it before you leave so that you can access all of this important content on the go. If there isn't a conference app, then find the conference website and save a link to it so that you can find the information you need when you're online. This can help you to plan out which sessions you want to visit, how to find them, and which social events or extra events that you'd like to attend too. 2. Contacts+ One of the most important aspects of attending a conference is the chance to meet other researchers and academics who are working in your field and to build up your professional network. In order to do this, you'll need to talk with lots of new people and find a way of keeping in contact with them once you're back home. While your phone almost certainly has a built-in contacts app, these are often rather limited. A dedicated contacts app such as Contacts+ gives you lots more features to manage contact data. For example, it will automatically link new contacts to their twitter profile so you can see when they tweet something new, it lets you rank contacts in order of important so you can keep the most vital details at the top, and keeps a complete history of your interactions with the contact in one place so you won't have to search through old emails. 3. TripAdvisor The TripAdvisor app is useful for anyone who is travelling, but especially good for conference attendees who may be travelling to a location they know very little about and have no local connection with. How do you know where to stay, where to eat, and where to visit while you're away at your conference? TripAdvisor will show you listings and reviews of hotels, restaurants, tourist attractions, and lots more. The reviews are c…
