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)
- 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. --Vesal 14:02, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Vanderbilt
Isnt the Association housed at Vanderbilt University? The website seems to indicate so. Why isnt this mentioned in the article?

Accusation of Bias?
I'm not entirely sure what the relevance of the "Bias" section is. If one looks at all of the social sciences, across the board there is a more progressive bent to them--Economics is no different. Why feign 1) that we can eliminate bias or should disclose it in every possible way and 2) pretend like there would even be an AEA with non-progressives at the healm. The very marker of the AEA is social scientists working with policy makers to direct national and international fiscal thinking. Isn't that in and of itself biased? I think this is less a controversy than American conservatives may want it to be. I also wonder that, if one looks at the AEA from a global perspective, if the allegiance to the Democratic party over the Republicans really matters. I propose that this section be deleted as it adds nothing to the article and is not supported anyway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.230.100.99 (talk) 15:41, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
