Wall Street and academia are two fields that publish a great deal of research, albeit for different objectives and audiences. Wall Street has a tendency to emphasize mainline research, a process that produces a great deal of specialized, up-to-the-minute research, but one that also can sometimes overlook -- even intentionally exclude -- research by niche or lesser-known researchers.
In focus: oil
One example: oil prices and the U.S. economy. Wall Street abounds in research describing oil's impact on U.S. GDP. As most investors/readers know, the current consensus holds that as oil prices rise, the U.S. economy slows, and if it rises too high it can throw the economy into a recession.
