Is There an Economics Forum Similar to PhysicsForums for In-depth Learning?

AI Thread Summary
A user seeks an economics forum akin to PhysicsForums, emphasizing the need for a platform that supports self-education in economics. They found Reddit and Stack Exchange inadequate, citing low activity on Stack Exchange and a focus on everyday economic issues on Reddit. The user desires a space where participants can engage deeply with economic concepts, similar to how students strengthen their understanding of Kinematics through forum discussions. The AEA Economics Discussion Forum, hosted by the American Economic Association, is suggested as a suitable option, offering a moderated environment for members to share insights and foster learning. The discussion highlights the trend of professional societies creating dedicated forums for knowledge exchange.

I need an economics forum very similar to the way PhysicsForums is for Maths and Physics. S done

I tried reddit and stackexchange but they were not very suitable. Stackexchange in economics was not very active and reddit was mostly about discussing the everyday issues involving economics. What I'm looking for is something which can serve for self-education purpose, like anyone who has done a basic course, say in Kinematics, can strengthen his knowledge simply by participating in threads posted here on PF on Kinematics and can even look for older threads and have some insights which no textbook seem to cover. That's what I'm looking for economics.

One may have to obtain a membership, but EconSpark is an AEA Economics Discussion Forum. The moderated message board was created to provide a place for members and other registered users to share information relevant to economics. They encourage members/users to ask questions and contribute comments and foster a community where participants can learn from and advise each other in a safe environment.

Increasingly, scientific, technical and otherwise professional societies have their own discussion and social interaction boards.
