What follows is a writing manual for the Department of Economics at Duke University.
As such, it responds to the writing demands of the undergraduate curriculum at Duke. But it
also discusses writing in a more general way, for writing in economics involves a mix of gen-
eral principles of writing and discipline-specific conventions of writing.
The manual is divided into six parts.
The first part, “Writing and Scholarly Argumentation: A Broad View,” addresses
aspects of paper writing in general, including a discussion of how to make economic arguments.
Part II, “The Writing of Economics: A Discipline-Specific Examination,” looks at how to write
certain genres of economics papers: empirical papers (in the discussion about evidence), litera-
ture reviews, abstracts, and so forth.
The third part examines introductions and conclusions.
What kinds of information are usually contained in an introduction, and how is it organized?
How should one end a paper?
In part IV we consider style: its virtues and vices. Part V offers a
few principles that can promote good writing. A few closing remarks are presented in Part VI.
You’ll find examples of economics writing in a series of appendices at the end of the
manual. Most of these samples have been annotated in an effort to point out clearly the conven-
tions and features that are present in economics writing.
