From BusWeek:
Not So Dismal A Science
If you find economics inaccessible behind all the jargon and page-long math equations, go to SmartEconomist.com. The site offers book-report-type reviews of new research in economics and finance, sortable by topic. Working papers are summarized in less than 1,000 words and deciphered by academic economists with minimal jargon. The research is also far from esoteric: Topics run from how emerging nations' imports affect the U.S. to brand advertising on the Net. Right now, it's free, but there are plans to turn it into a subscription site. By James Mehring
The site currently reviews only 71 papers, out of thousands, but the reviews are good. It is worth a look.
