What I find in my email...

First a little background for those who did not come to this page through my home page: I used to be an Economics professor at the University of Connecticut (USA), specialized in macroeconomics. Now I am at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. I maintain a website about economics research, IDEAS. And somehow, some people think I can solve all their problems. I get quite a few who think I will do their Economics homeworks, but others are way off track. Here is a little sample. Note: these are the complete emails. I just cut names and signatures. And I spare you the phone calls I get...
This is the fourth page of emails. The first one is here, the second one there and the third one here. There is now even a fifth one.

My brother has had a massive stroke and the hospital is trying to put him out, although he has Medicare and supplemental insurance.

My questions are:

Will Medicare cover therapy in a center for 100 days?

If he goes home while still paralyzed will my sister-in-law be entitled to money for taking care of him?

She had no idea that they were in trouble financially. There home has gone down in value so much that they can't sell it at this time. She is so worried.

He is 65, working and drawing Social Security. She is 60 and has never worked.

Can you tell me who to call and what we should do to find out what help they can get at this difficult time.

Respected Prof. Zimmerman,
Let me draw your kind attention regarding a little confusion in my paper submission, which I submissively, apologize for causing some unwarranted revisions, although, found later, was essential on second thought.
In the latter case, I tender my regret to let you know that I was not able to upload my paper with complete vanity, which is, in this regard, quite unexpected failure from my side, not any fault in the server whatsoever. I have dutifully submitted the paper titled "[title removed]", to the Economics department of [some] University, after completion and proper revision to Prof. [name removed].
So, I believe, If I be allowed to beg your pardon and seek your forgiveness on this matter, being a novice researcher, and I would see to this that this does not happen again in future.
Regards,
Bonjour,

Hope you're doing okay. I'm just getting in touch to ask if you're open to reviewing content from freelance writers at Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis - if so, I'd love to put together a high-quality article written specifically for the site.

If you're up for receiving some fresh content, I'd be more than happy to come up with something unique or I'm entirely open to topic suggestions to work with. I'm 29 and have been working as a professional writer and researcher for five years now, and in that time there isn't a lot I haven't already covered (I've attached a few samples below for you to check out). I don't deal solely in articles, either, so if you have any other projects I can help out with I'm open to discussion and offer my personal assistance at no cost.

As long as you're happy with the resulting material, you'd be welcome to publish it as you see fit and the content will be owned by you entirely (in that I won't send it to anyone else, either before or after publication). Absolutely no charge for this; the only thing I would ask in return is that I'm able to include a link to a site of my choosing within the article - nothing shady or unethical, just one of the professional businesses I freelance for.

Do let me know if you're interested, and if so I can get something written for you over the course of the next few days. Needless to say, the offer is open to any other sites you might own. I appreciate you may not be interested in this kind of mutual back-scratching however, so if I don't hear from you, no offence taken and I won't trouble you again.

I have modified my hospital and the new e-mail is [address withheld]
Hey chrstian,

My name is [...]. i got ur email from your post on the web while i was searching information on how to prepare for my upcoming PhD interivew in Economics. I already got very helpful info from your post, but would like to get more:), because this time you could tailor your advice specifically for my situation.

I am from Africa and made my MSc in a European universtiy. I have some professional experience like teaching and research assistant positions. I am invited for a phd interivew at a European university after a week. I am already told that 3 professors are going to ask me questions about microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics. Also, they will ask me about my research interests. Having told that to you, how would you suggest i should do to prepare for the interview during the next 7 days?

I really appreciate you taking time to forward your tips.


I am very interested in learning more about the profits identity formula. I have an MBA and a CFA and am surprised I had not heard anything about the formula until recently. One problem I have, though, is finding the correct information. Most researchers seem to use NIPA and/or the Flow of Funds reports, and I can find those reports and tables, but it is still very unclear to me which numbers are being used. Can you tell me, or point me to where I can find it, the specific tables and rows which are used in the formula? Or, perhaps a researcher has his/her data available and I can use that and back into a formula. Also, I know that there are several derivations, so I would be interested in the one that is considered "best" for deriving National Corporate profits after tax. Any help you can provide would be very appreciaed.

The economic dynamics is one of the subjects that interest me in my profession. Recently I have applied a modeling technique using the historical S&P500 index data to observe a long term bubble trend in the US economy. I do not have a paper about this as I cannot capture all the dynamics in writing, or in graphs. The report is in a short YouTube video and you and your colleagues are welcome to it. Questions or comments are welcomed. Thank you for your attention.
I'm a contributor for the [name of international publication], as well as a staff reporter at [name of local newspaper]. I'm currently based in Beijing.

I'm working on a story for [name of international publication] on the effects of government austerity measures on businesses during the current NPC and CPPCC meeting sessions. The article will compare market performances of Beijing businesses such as fine restaurants, gift and flower shops and liquor companies (especially ones selling expensive bai jiu) during the NPC/CPPCC this year compared to previous congresses.

The article will then discuss Xi Jinping's austerity measures and their affects on the government's reputation at home and abroad.

Would you please be able to direct me to a colleague who may be able to answer my questions below? I can visit your office in Beijing. My deadline is this Thursday.

-1: How would you compare Xi's austerity measures compared to the performance of his predecessors at the beginning of their terms?

-2: To what extent do you think reducing corruption and extravagant spending among government officials is important for the government's legitimacy and strength?

-3: Do you think the drop in sales for luxury businesses (such as fine dining restaurants, gifts and cigar shops and expensive liquor sellers) reported during the Lunar New Year is happening during the current congresses as well?

-3b: Why or why not? If yes, do you think the drop in business will only affect Beijing or does it affect other provinces as well? Please explain.

-4: If Xi's austerity measures prove to be effective, what effects might this make on the overall Chinese economy?

-5: If the current establishment manages to reduce corruption and extravagant lifestyles of officials, do you think this will significantly improve China's reputation internationally as well as among Chinese citizens?
