People interested by the use of Python in economic research should check out QuantEcon [0], a project to develop tools and courses for computational economics [1] in Python and Julia

[0] https://quantecon.org/

[1] A fancy expression to say "using programming to solve economic models"

Yeah, and Economics Nobel laureate Thomas Sargent is a Julia programming convert (he even gave the JuliaCon 2016 keynote, video embedded below:)

EDIT to add: I should say that Thomas Sargent is one of the founders of QuantEcon (cited by OP), that's why I'm bringing this up here.

That fancy expression existed well before the birth of programming.
