Trending and Emerging
- Digital Economy and Labor Market Dynamics:
Recent publications increasingly focus on labor market mismatches and the effects of COVID-19 on earnings, highlighting the need to understand how digital transformation and global crises affect employment. - Wealth and Income Disparities:
Research on wealth disparities among different demographics, particularly the elderly and immigrants, is becoming more prominent, emphasizing the importance of social equity in economic discourse. - Sustainability and Economic Resilience:
There is a growing interest in the sustainability of economic practices, as evidenced by studies on informal economies and productivity spillovers, reflecting broader global concerns about sustainable growth. - Financial System Analysis:
An increase in studies analyzing banking practices, lending rates, and fiscal policies indicates a trend toward understanding the financial systems' role in economic stability and growth.
Declining or Waning
- Historical Economic Analysis:
Although historical perspectives, such as the analysis of Latvia's economic growth in the interwar period, have been published, this theme appears to be less frequent, suggesting a shift towards more contemporary issues. - Agricultural Economics:
Research focusing specifically on agricultural practices, such as the investment behavior of dairy farms, has become less prominent, indicating a potential waning interest in this sector within the journal. - Minimum Wage Studies:
Investigations into the effects of minimum wage policies, while relevant, have seen fewer publications, suggesting that this area may not be as central to current economic discussions in the Baltic context. - Labor Market Studies:
While labor market issues remain important, the specific focus on overeducation and cognitive skills in relation to wages appears to be declining, possibly overshadowed by broader economic challenges.
