This page contains data entry 2005 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

I'm about to finish my econ Msc and haven't read a lot of papers yet, so I would like to ask you about your experience.

What kind of research do you do and what programming languages do you usually see used in the papers you read (in the replication materials). Have you noticed any shifts in the recent years?

Before starting my BSc I learned a few programming languages, but I prefer to write in python most of the time. However, most of the papers I read used stata, Matlab, and R for econometrics, and mainly Matlab and Fortran for macro. I hear that Julia is also an up-and-comer. What do you see getting more traction in your field in the next 5 years?

I'm am not asking for "what language should I learn". I can start writing in a new language tomorrow. The issue is that when I start my PhD I expect to create many tools/libraries along the way and I don't want my code to be considered legacy by the time I get my degree. I also know that some languages are better than other's for some things, but I'm am focusing on my "main" one.

Sorry if this isn't a post about econ papers, but it's ecocpapers-adjacent and I don't know of any other place with this specific experience, that specializes in programming.
