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, the third one here and the fifth one here.

Dear Sir or Madam, Christian Zimmermann :
Hello! We are Chinese college students of Jinan University, juniors from
finance major. We formed a learning interest group in after school time, and
we have some rough understanding of the international economy, hope to
receive your guidance, thank you! The following is our forecasts for the
capital market and problems.
Predictions:
1 The tendency of U.S. stocks now with the very similar to the crash
in 1987. The United States will detonate a stock crash, and have a severe
impact on the euro zone with aggravating the European debt crisis. At the
same time, the American companies hold a huge sum of cash flow, and there
will be a big-scale global mergers and acquisitions in the future;
2 The probability of United States to maintain or expand QE is 70%;
3 The euro will be violent fluctuate in September;
4 The euro will eventually collapse, and the dollar index will
increase the weight of the pound and the Swiss franc;
5 The population expansion of new immigrants will add to the
financial burden of the euro zone government, and the high social welfare in
the euro area is difficult to maintain.
Questions:
1 When a major currency fluctuates, other currencies will tread on
the heels of rise and fall. The -Y´efficient market hypothesis¡ whether is
still be established based on the reality of monetary policy connected
fluctuation?
2 Somebody of the Wall Street once has predicted subprime crisis,
such as John Paulson, Bill Gross, Susie, Whitney, and Prof Roubini; this
means that financial market risk is predictable, right?
3 The uncertainty of the market is caused by the participants self
overestimate; more is affected by the price expression and then lose
oneself. Did you engender this uncertainty phenomenon as the self overvalued
at the beginning of your participation in the capital market?
4 For the new one who wants to enter the field of investment, as a
wise man, what’s suggestion or advice you most want to put forward? Thank
you very much!
I am preparing a manuscript for Journal of Health Economics
I tried finding on the journal's site the specifics regarding different
types of articles (description), the requisites for each (abstract? nb of
words? structured?) as well as the total nb of words for each types (and if
any other specifics like max number of figures/tables, references).
I do not perhaps appreciate how I stopped way up the following, even so
considered the following placed once were excellent. I do not realize that
you may be however undoubtedly you are going to some sort of well-known
blogger in case you usually are not witout a doubt. Kind regards!
I am interested in submitting a manuscript to your Journal of Accounting and
MIS. I would like to know how long (on average) you review process would
take and if accepted, which issue would be the first available for
publishing?
Do you publish both soft and hard copies ?
In response to the confirmation email during the registration process at the RePEc Author Service:
thanks,but i like to be an economical Author.THOUGH i like iam lucking

Dear Zimmermann:
I came across your online article abstract entitled "Sustainability of
Holistic and Conventional Cattle Ranching in the Seasonally Dry Tropics of
Chiapas, Mexico," published in 2013. I am doing a holistic and conventional
ranching, specifically in the state of California and wanted to know how, if
at all possible, I could get a hold of your research. Could you or the
authors please send me the full article? I would also like to speak with
you or the authors more about your research findings. Thank you.
I submitted a manuscript titled: "[...]" via
[email address] for publication in [obscure journal] early February. I have not had
any feedback in terms of acknowledgement of receipt of the manuscript or
decision on same despite two separate enquires on the status of the
manuscript. I will be grateful for an update on the manuscript or some
clues in this regard.
We are writing to invite you to join the Editorial Board of INTERNATIONAL
JOURNAL OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE, LITERATURE AND TRANSLATION STUDIES (IJELR). In
making this request, we are particularly interested in expanding
representation on the Board of those areas of expertise, i.e. ENGLISH
LANGUAGE, LITERATURE AND TRANSLATION STUDIES.
How do you do these days? I am now first time writing to you after getting approval and suggestions from Chief Editor, one of my benefactors, for publishing [book title] 2nd edition. I have perceived and respected the social activity of Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis for establishing and operating RePEc. This time, I could know that Chief Editor recommended my [book title] to Dr. Christian Zimmermann and, Dr. Christian Zimmermann further recommended my [book title] to RePEc, as the maintainer of IDEAS in RePEc.
As you agree with between lines of Acknowledgements here, it takes many years before accepted by society, researchers, people, and the literature. If I were born one hundred years earlier than 1930, I or my spirit must repeat the birthday several times, since no computer, no internet, and no instant worldwide communications, but pencil and pen with dictionaries; no way how to test evidences and how to prove reproducibility to 100 % and forever scientifically.
Further this time, I am unbelievable myself in that bravely you trusted my [book title] and besides, RePEc's records and indexes by month show increasing support for evaluation of my [book title], as if you know the results. As a result, I feel that God/Heaven already know the timing of peaceful world by country in this century, I repeat here to myself. Honestly we are lucky and hopeful for the future with every efforts of humans, aren't we, Dr. Christian? Also I desire your open and short communications with us, editors and me, for memories to future generations.
