CLEVELAND (Reuters) People seeking a deeper understanding of Donald Trumps economic policy came up empty-handed this week at the Republican National Convention.

In speeches from the main stage and in panel discussions on the sidelines, the four-day convention was notable for a paucity of policy details, the result perhaps of a desire to play down differences among the party faithful.
