Declining or Waning

While the American Economic Review-Insights continues to explore a wide array of economic topics, certain themes appear to be declining in prominence over recent years. This reflects a shift in focus towards more pressing contemporary issues.
  1. Traditional Macroeconomic Models:
    There has been a noticeable decrease in publications centered on traditional macroeconomic models, possibly due to a growing preference for empirical studies that address current economic challenges.
  2. Purely Theoretical Economic Frameworks:
    Research that solely focuses on theoretical constructs without empirical validation seems to be less favored, as the journal increasingly prioritizes studies with practical applications.
  3. Stagnation of Longitudinal Studies:
    Longitudinal studies that track economic changes over extended periods have become less frequent, as the journal shifts towards addressing more immediate and dynamic economic phenomena.
