hi scott,
I think its a nice name but its like owning engines.co.uk instead of cars.co.uk if you get my meaning, and i know which I would rather have.
That said it is full of potent potentialities (wtf did I just waffle!?) in that you could apply it to things to develop sites from economics degree/graduate to economics info in general for different countries etc, but to make anything worthwhile will probably take some time putting together (and some dosh).
Get a mini site up and see what happens
nice name, low/mid value ££££ imho as is.
