There would be no harm in it, but I don’t see a pressing need either. Econometrics questions fit in [Statistics](https://discourse.julialang.org/c/domain/stats) and [Data](https://discourse.julialang.org/c/domain/data), while [Numerics](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/about-the-numerics-category/283), [Optimization](https://discourse.julialang.org/c/domain/opt) should cover most building blocks in numerical methods economists use. [Modeling and Simulation](https://discourse.julialang.org/c/domain/models) would be a good fit questions about DSGE models, for example.

While some methods are specific to economics, most tools used by economists are very general. On a related note, sometimes fields get stuck with suboptimal methods because of historical reasons, so participating in more general discussions can be advantageous.
