I have been pondering for a while what to do with my blog, Economic Logic. My job responsibilities have made it difficult for me to attend to it as much as I would like. Sometimes I would have to skip days, sometimes I have not had time to read as much as I wanted (or I should as I got it wrong in one case). And I certainly have less time to write things up. Somebody suggested I should invite guest bloggers to help out. I am now ready to do this, but on a different blog, Economic Logic, Too.
Why keep them separate? EL got a reputation, and I would hate to ruin it. I have no idea how well this initiative will turn out with guest bloggers. I guess am too risk averse for allowing guest posters to alter EL. I hope they prove me wrong.
Here is how you can contribute to EL2 (this may be amended if need be):
- I will accept discussions of interesting research and interesting discussions of research. That means it can also be rejected.
- I may make a few small editorial corrections to the text.
- There needs to be a link to an IDEAS page.
- The research needs to be recent and in working paper form. This means it needs to be in Open Access (NBER and CEPR are OK) and unpublished.
- You cannot discuss your own research. This is not voxEU.
- You need to submit your text under your real name. It can be published anonymously, though.
- Send me an email with your write-up, mention if you want it under a pseudonym or your real name.
- I let you know about my decision as soon as I can.
