How do you decipher the mathematical jargon in scholarly research papers...

...(specifically im Economics) ? I'm trying to write a research paper in Economics but i have one big problem: i don't even know how to read them. What i'm having most trouble with is understanding the tables and what all the symbols stand for, the regression analysis, and the infinite math jargon and notation. Even though i've learned a lot of the econometric principles in school, i am wondering if there are any good books or articles that explain exactly how to apply those concepts in reading an actual paper.

Pay a PhD student to help walk you through the papers.
