Declining or Waning
- Traditional Economic Theories:

Research specifically focused on globalization and trade dynamics has become less prominent compared to other themes such as local labor markets and domestic policy impacts, indicating a potential shift in interest toward more localized economic issues. - Purely Quantitative Methods:
While quantitative analysis remains important, there is a noticeable decline in papers that focus exclusively on quantitative methods without integrating qualitative insights or interdisciplinary approaches. This reflects a broader trend towards mixed-methods research. - Historical Economic Analysis:
The journal has seen a reduction in the publication of historical economic analyses, particularly those that do not connect past events to current economic realities or policy implications. This suggests a shift towards more contemporary issues.
