The fallout from Reinhart and Rogoff's Excel error appears
to have officially jumped from the digital to the real (h/t Jim Pethokoukis). Stanford economist John Taylor reports that

A participant in last Friday’s G20 meetings told me that the
error was a factor in the decision to omit specific deficit or debt-to-GDP
targets in the G20 communique. The error
refers to Reinhart and Rogoff's leaving out data that would have shown high
debt-to-GDP levels actually don't produce that great an impact on growth.
