I was doubtful about my ability to read 100 papers in 100 days, but I feel much more confident about reading 100 abstracts in 100 days. If some of those turn into full paper reads, even better. I'm curious how you decided which abstracts to read. Were you basing it on NBER digests?

The weekly NBER emails were super helpful for finding papers. Sometimes I'd go to field journals and look for the most relevant papers.

Nice post!

One of my habits is to read through the titles of every NBER Working Paper and IZA Discussion Paper, then read the abstracts of the ones that interest me / are related to my projects, then read/cite the papers that are most interesting / related.

I use Feedly RSS reader to keep track of the newly released papers, and I just check them off in that website once I've reviewed them.

I also get tons of value out of the Best of EconTwitter substack (https://www.bestofecontwitter.com/)
