Backstory: How Research Papers in Economics Get Made

About the podcast

This Backstory podcast examines how research papers in economics are made. Created by UC San Diego graduate students from an idea by Paul Niehaus, it interviews researchers about their work. Conversations follow the path from an initial question toward publication. Guests discuss obstacles, revisions, and discoveries that may not appear in the finished article. The series offers a view of economic research as a process carried out by particular people.
