I don't know much about this topic, but I'm concerned that in calling the AEA the "oldest and most important professional organization in the field of economics" that we may be neglecting important organizations outside the USA. Is this article too Americentric? [[User:Deco|Deco]] 04:13, 31 July 2006 (UTC) |

: Well, most science is americentric, so it doesn't really surprise me. The AEA seems to be the most important with over 18,000 members. The [[Royal Economic Society]], for example, claims 3,000 members. But I'm more surprised that the AEA is so small, compare it to the [[ACM]] with 82,000 members and 40 or so publications. --[[User:Vesal|Vesal]] 14:02, 27 October 2006 (UTC) |

::It may be the largest and most important, but I doubt that it's the oldest. The Royal Economic Society (founded 1890) is probably older. I'm removing that claim for now. Please reintroduce it if you have a source. --[[User:Lawrencekhoo|lk]] ([[User talk:Lawrencekhoo|talk]]) 12:42, 9 December 2007 (UTC) |

Too Americentric?
I don't know much about this topic, but I'm concerned that in calling the AEA the "oldest and most important professional organization in the field of economics" that we may be neglecting important organizations outside the USA. Is this article too Americentric? Deco 04:13, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Isnt the Association housed at Vanderbilt University? The website seems to indicate so. Why isnt this mentioned in the article?
