Declining or Waning

Research grounded in static economic theories without consideration of dynamic factors, such as technological changes or behavioral economics, is becoming less frequent. - Regional Economic Studies:
Although still relevant, there is a noticeable decrease in publications specifically focused on localized economic studies, as more research shifts towards broader, comparative analyses across regions. - Historical Economic Analysis:
The frequency of papers centered on historical economic analysis, particularly those examining long-term economic trends without a contemporary context, appears to be waning. - Capital Market Studies:
There is a decline in studies centered exclusively on capital markets, especially those that do not integrate behavioral or policy-related dimensions in their analysis.
