Grad students with #econhistory ideas: I’ll send you feedback if you email me 1 page about the question, data (available or acquirable), research design, main concerns, and how you aim to address those. Multiple 1-pagers better. All encouraged, please spread word. #EconTwitter Clarifications: the goal is finding ideas that "could" become your PhD job market paper and be published in “general interest” econ journals – you can do it! You may be pre-PhD... but that’s the scale/scope expected. Junior faculty can also reach out. Question-Data-Approach.
