I have been using R and C++ for my research in finance. For now, I can handle most econometric models with R (from OLS to MCMC, etc.), and really feel comfortable with the Hadley Wickham style data manipulation, so I think I will stick with R in the rest of my career. I would like to know if there are any online R codes shared by finance professors. I want to see how top scholars write their R codes in finance research in a finance style. I mean, I kind of feel my programming is in a math or statistic style, not in a finance style. I want to add more finance flavor to my coding style.
Software R has several packages on the task view of Empirical Finance, as you can see in the website: https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Finance.html
Likewise, I recommend that you also look at the econometric taskview, through the website: https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Econometrics.html
With R and the available packages, you will always get the job done. I recommend that you try writing your own R codes and then seeking assistance when necessary. It helps you learn more...
