First off, IMHO the majority of posts/articles on this site are thoughtful and without peer. There is also severe review, so very little rubbish is accepted. That being said, the primary focus is on local RE topics. My perspective, is a bit different. The local trends are valuable, but being a conceptually oriented person, macro economic evaluations provide much more intellectual stimulation, leading to even more macro/mid-level analysis. If economics is your bag, please consider Dr. Ravi Batra (prof @ MSU). He links macro economics with subordinate components.
I found the short article posted here most interesting and emailed a few friends.
