  • OLS is well used in a lot of domains. If you have a continuous outcome you have a straightforward and very easy way to get a quick reliable estimate of some interesting parameter. The typical use in most social sciences is to implement some sort of difference-in-differences (or DiD event-study) estimate within a simple linear regression.

    I have coded VBA-based shadow-IT back in the day, but I seriously think this is something that needs to disappear in most firms that still have it. It is typically unmaintable automation of tasks at the department level that is super dependent on who is around and is still often in use after the programmers are long gone. I have seen a few old VBA tools in use that should be done with standard python/R or god forbid even JS Code in a decent documented repo.
