Declining or Waning
- Traditional Economic Theories:
There has been a noticeable decline in papers focused solely on traditional economic theories without contextual historical analysis. Scholars seem to be moving towards more integrative approaches that consider social, political, and cultural factors alongside economic theories. - Overemphasis on Western Economies:
Research specifically centered on Western economies, particularly pre-20th century, appears to be waning. There is a growing emphasis on non-Western economies and comparative studies that reflect a more global perspective. - Narrow Case Studies:
