Abstract

Economists travel together frequently, resulting in numerous discussions of presentations given at conferences. The authors propose the creation of a handbook of numbered comments on presentations. These comments include general introductory remarks and more specific analysis-based comments. The suggested handbook would allow conference participants to express standard responses to presentations in a way that is less time-consuming but still acknowledges the presenter’s contribution to the field of economics. – AI-generated abstract.
