Why should one use this instead of Rcpp?

Depends on the journal, but given that exceptions to the data policy must be sought upon initial submission, that is the point to also supply IRB etc. referees clearly need to see this. this is not official policy but best practice. This story is another great data point in my repertoire.

A lot? Well, if preparing a referee report takes x hours, spending 5% of x hours on that sort of stuff seems time well spent. 🤷♂️

Is it true that this got an R&R at QJE? How come they did not ask for IRB and other supporting documentation?

of course. that's just a simple example, not a realistic work load. we never get that kind of linear speed increase with realistic overheads.

Exactly my consideration when accepting or not an invitation to an academic conference. Not flying overseas to speak for 20 minutes in a room with 5 in audience. It’s a form of self censorship which is difficult because it *may* harm my visibility.

What was the exact error? I had a weirdo as well yesterday. I swapped the latex engine and all went through. Latex is just so brittle it’s insane

disagree with the "always". Spending 38% of 1945 GDP on WW2 in an effort to defeat nazi germany was not based on a vague claim about freedom. Agree that we've moved quite far away from that today.
