ECONOMIC JOURNAL
Scope & Guideline
Transforming economic discourse through rigorous research.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Consumer Behavior Analysis:
The journal frequently publishes studies that investigate consumer behavior in various contexts, including digital media consumption, mobile payment transactions, and telecommunications. These analyses often employ survey methods and econometric modeling to derive insights into consumer preferences and market dynamics. - Financial Development and Economic Growth:
A consistent theme in the journal is the examination of the relationship between financial development and macroeconomic indicators, such as growth and stability. Papers often utilize time-series analysis and panel data methods to explore these dynamics across different countries and contexts. - Impact of Government Policies:
The journal highlights research on the effects of government policies on economic outcomes, including social welfare, unemployment, and public health expenditures. This area often includes causal analysis and empirical testing of policy interventions. - Market Dynamics and Competition:
Research on market power, price competition, and the impact of e-commerce platforms is a significant focus area. The journal explores how market structures evolve and how they affect consumer prices and choices, often using empirical models to assess competition. - Socioeconomic Factors and Health:
The intersection of economics and social issues, such as the relationship between economic conditions and mental health, is also a key area of interest. Studies often draw on provincial or regional data to understand these links.
Trending and Emerging
- Digital Economy and Consumer Behavior:
There is a growing emphasis on the digital economy, particularly in relation to consumer behavior in subscription services and mobile transactions. This trend highlights the increasing importance of digital platforms in shaping economic interactions. - Financial Stability and Development:
Research on the role of financial development in ensuring macroeconomic stability has gained traction. This includes studies on financial depth and its conditional effects, reflecting a heightened interest in understanding the financial sector's role in economic resilience. - Impact of COVID-19 on Economic Behavior:
The pandemic has spurred a surge in research examining its effects on economic behavior, including shifts in payment methods and consumer spending patterns. This theme is particularly relevant as economies adapt to post-pandemic realities. - Socioeconomic Impacts on Health:
Emerging research increasingly focuses on the socioeconomic determinants of health, linking economic conditions to mental health issues. This trend reflects a broader understanding of the interconnectedness of economic and social well-being.
Declining or Waning
- Military Expenditures and Governance:
While previously explored, the focus on military expenditures and their relationship with governance has seen a decrease. This may indicate a shift towards more pressing economic issues in contemporary research agendas. - Remittances and Economic Growth:
The exploration of the impact of inward remittances on economic growth, particularly in South Asia, has become less frequent. This could suggest a waning interest as researchers pivot to other aspects of economic development. - Environmental Economics:
Although environmental economics was a notable theme in earlier publications, recent titles indicate a decline in studies focusing on the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis and related topics. This shift may reflect a broader trend towards immediate economic issues over long-term environmental concerns.
