This includes studies on wealth distribution, gender disparities, and the socio-economic impacts of policy changes. - Policy Analysis and Economic Reforms:
A significant focus is placed on evaluating economic policies and reforms in Indonesia, particularly in response to national challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, fiscal decentralization, and trade policies. Researchers explore the effectiveness of governmental strategies and their socio-economic repercussions. - Sustainable Development and Environmental Issues:
The journal examines the intersection of economic development and environmental sustainability, addressing topics such as resource nationalism, agricultural sustainability, and the impacts of climate change on economic activities. - Labor Market Dynamics:
Research on labor market conditions, including employment trends, wage policies, and the impacts of regulations on small and medium enterprises, is a core area. This encompasses studies on labor mobility, minimum wage effects, and the gender pay gap. - Regional Economic Studies:

Trending and Emerging
- Impact of COVID-19 on Economic Structures:
Research focused on the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic has surged, examining how the crisis has reshaped household incomes, business operations, and overall economic resilience in Indonesia. - Gender and Economic Development:
There is a growing body of work addressing gender equality and women's roles in the economy, exploring both progress and ongoing challenges in achieving gender parity within various sectors. - Digitalization and Economic Performance:
The influence of digitalization on economic performance, particularly among micro and small enterprises, is an emerging theme, highlighting the importance of technology adoption for competitive advantage. - Environmental Economics and Policy:
Increased attention is being paid to the economic implications of environmental policies and sustainability practices, especially in relation to resource management and climate change adaptation. - Public Health Economics:
The intersection of public health and economics is gaining prominence, especially in discussions around health insurance, healthcare access, and the economic implications of health crises.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Agriculture Studies:
There is a noticeable reduction in studies focusing solely on traditional agricultural practices, as more research shifts towards sustainable agricultural practices and food security within the context of modernization and climate change. - Macro-Economic Indicators and Forecasting:
Research that primarily focuses on macroeconomic indicators and forecasts has diminished, possibly due to a growing emphasis on microeconomic factors, sector-specific studies, and policy evaluation. - Historical Economic Analyses:
While historical context is important, there appears to be a waning interest in historical economic analyses that do not directly inform current policy or socio-economic conditions, as contemporary issues gain more prominence. - General Economic Theory Applications:
The application of broad economic theories without specific contextualization to Indonesian circumstances has seen a decline, as researchers increasingly seek to ground their work in empirical data and localized case studies.
