<p>It does seem like economics merits its own SE site, so I wish it well.  However, deciding whether to migrate new questions will be tricky.  We have (but rarely) gotten questions that are rather purely about economics with little statistical content--those can clearly be migrated.  Econometric questions that have meaningful statistical content <em>could</em> be migrated, but I'm not sure I'd want to by default and there is some case to be made that we should defer to the OP's implied wishes in posting here for those questions that can be on-topic on two sites.  As with software and math questions, I suggest we focus on what the OP needs explained:  If the question is about econometrics, but the underlying confusion is really about the economics, we should migrate; If the question starts and stops with the econometrics, I would keep it here.  As for <em>old and unanswered</em> econometrics questions, be aware that after a short period of time (I don't know how long, it may be 30 days) threads are no longer migratable.  </p>
