Tip #1 : Act fast! If you love the paper, submit your report ASAP. Editors see their decisions as an optimal stopping problem. They invite more referees than they expect to need, and skim through the reports as they come in. So, the order in which reports are submitted matters.

Show the editor that you are aware of the manuscript’s limitations. E.g.: “The paper does not use an experiment, so the causal identification is far from ideal. However, this is the very first time a paper was able to do X. That’s an impressive feat that others will follow.”

(2/11) Let's start with the problem: the typical paper gets published after being rejected by many journals. Authors start aiming higher than expected, and if it doesn't go through, eventually they start "going down" to less selective journals. This is incredibly inefficient.

Tip #2 : Show awareness of the weaknesses. Positive reviewers sometimes send a short report just saying that the paper is above the bar. But let’s say the other reviewer recommends rejection based on specific concerns (e.g., the identification strategy is not persuasive enough).

If the 2 R&Rs are submitted first, the editor will most likely stop and invite a revision. If Reject comes first, the editor may stop and reject. Even if the first two referees are mixed (1 R&R and 1 Reject), the editor is likely to stop and reject. So the order matters a lot!

(3/11) This sequential process means that a paper may take several years until it is finally accepted, mostly because it is waiting for editors and referees to do their job. So many referee reports and decision letters are a monumental waste of time for the editors and referees.

(8/11) If the editor invites the revision, we reached the end of the process (unless the paper is eventually rejected, in which case we go to the next step). If the editor rejects, then the referee reports are sent to the editor of the journal that the author ranked second.

Reason #3 : earn extra income. You should not try to make money during grad school. However, you may really need the extra income. Maybe you had kids during graduate school. You may need money to help your family back home. Or you may simply need to pay for dental work.

Reason #4 : get inspiration for your dissertation. This may be more of a long shot, but your experience working in the “real world” may result in a research idea. Furthermore, you may be able to get access to a unique dataset or collaboration opportunity for your dissertation.

Another great summary by @econimate ! This is one of my favorite Youtube channels, and a great #econtwitter resource. You should consider incorporating these videos in your undergraduate/graduate classes. They provide a fun way of learning about the latest economics research.

Disclaimer #2 : I was not a summer intern myself. However, I did work for a summer at the World Bank and I had a fantastic time. Disclaimer #3 : (for international students) I suspect that, depending on which type of VISA you have, you may face restrictions.

While the exact amount may vary a lot from one internship to another, some may pay as much as the equivalent of a year worth of PhD stipend… for just a couple of months of work. Doubling your income should relax a lot of the anxiety about money.

@amitabhchandra2 @TexasChildrens @BostonChildrens I owe my life to these achievements. I had an open-heart surgery at the age of 4 and lived a normal life after that. If it wasn't for science, I would have not survived past the age of 5.

If you think you want to give summer internships a try, find below some useful links. But before, let me share a few disclaimers: Disclaimer #1 : I currently work as a Scholar for Amazon, and I worked for Microsoft in the past. Both companies offer summer internships.
