  1. Those are really, really bad numbers Stata, Matlab and SAS are all paid software, which mean they can be hard to get for a lot of (incl. aspiring) researchers We need to do better to promote open source and free software @JFiva/1424679980538241025

      And please, don’t go on the piracy road Installing cracked software on any computer is a major security risk On top of the legal and moral issues related to rely on piracy, of course

        The numbers are equally bad if we look at *all* AEA journals, not just AEJ:applied @ohernaes/1424728607268745216

          R (or Python) vs another langage goes way beyond that just ease of use and personal preferences Having to rely on paid software decrease the accessibility and the reproducibility of econ research as a whole This is something we shouldn’t forget that easily
