Misc. Resources for Grad Students:

 

Here is some advice for theory students preparing for their first presentation

Here is a presentation on presentations I’ve given a couple of times

Simon Board has excellent advice here on writing introductions, and theory papers in general

Shengwu Li has excellent advice here on giving presentations

John Cochrane has excellent advice here about writing econ papers – it’s more about empirical than theory papers, but a lot of it’s still good general advice

CS Lewis wrote this to a schoolgirl who asked him for advice on writing – it’s not specifically about academic writing, but much of it is great advice, especially #5 and #8

 

My past micro prelim questions:

Summer 2008 and Solutions

Unused Game Theory Question and Solutions

June 2018 (with solutions)
July 2018 (with solutions)

June 2019 (with solutions)
July 2019 (with solutions)

July 2019 unused extended version and Solutions

June 2021 (with solutions)

June 2022 (with solutions)

July 2022 (with solutions)

(parts of the unused game theory question and the July 2019 "extended" version are probably harder than what I'd ask on an actual prelim question, but nice review of a wider range of topics)
