| Oct 1, 2021 at 7:10 | comment | added | PatrickT | I agree with everything here. I would add that a good reason to use R is the RStudio IDE. Python has several IDES, but none so well designed, in my experience (I currently use Spyder and Visual Studio). If you want to learn a language for the job market, then Python is the obvious choice. Lastly I'll say that oftentimes if you want to replicate someone else's applied econ work, you're more likely to need R or Matlab than Python. Recently I've been toying with Julia and I'd recommend it too. | |
