Aims and Scopes

The journal 'Economic Record' focuses on a diverse range of economic issues, methodologies, and theoretical frameworks. It aims to contribute to both the academic field of economics and practical policymaking through rigorous research and analysis.
  1. Applied Economics and Policy Analysis:
    The journal emphasizes research that applies economic theories and models to real-world policy issues. This includes analysis of taxation, labor markets, and social welfare policies, aiming to provide insights that can inform effective governance and economic management.
  2. Behavioral Economics and Social Factors:
    A growing focus on the intersection of behavioral economics with traditional economic theories. Research often explores how social preferences, cultural factors, and cognitive biases affect economic decision-making and policy outcomes.
  3. Macroeconomic Trends and Monetary Policy:
    The journal consistently covers macroeconomic issues, particularly concerning monetary policy and its implications for inflation, output, and employment. It seeks to analyze the impacts of macroeconomic trends on both national and global scales.
  4. Inequality and Social Justice:
    Research exploring economic inequality, its measurement, and its implications for society is a core area. The journal publishes works that address issues of equity, wealth distribution, and social justice, particularly in the context of economic policies.
  5. Innovation and Economic Growth:
    A significant focus on the role of innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship in driving economic growth. This includes studies on the impacts of technological change on various sectors and the broader economy.
  6. Environmental Economics:
    The journal has increasingly included research on environmental issues, particularly in relation to climate change, sustainability, and the economic implications of environmental policies.
The journal has been responsive to current global economic challenges and emerging research areas. Recent publications reflect a growing focus on themes that align with contemporary societal needs and economic realities.
  1. Digital Economy and Technology:
    There is a notable increase in research addressing the implications of digital technology on the economy. This includes studies on fintech, digital currencies, and the broader impacts of AI and automation on labor markets.
  2. Health Economics and Pandemic Response:
    In light of recent global health crises, there has been a surge in research focusing on health economics, particularly regarding the economic impacts of pandemics and public health policies.
  3. Climate Change and Sustainability:
    A rising trend in publications related to environmental economics, specifically focusing on climate change, sustainability practices, and their economic implications. This theme is increasingly relevant in the context of global policy discussions.
  4. Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace:
    Emerging research on gender, racial, and socioeconomic diversity in labor markets reflects a growing interest in how diversity impacts economic performance and social equity.
  5. Behavioral Insights in Economic Decision-Making:
    An increasing number of studies are exploring how behavioral factors influence economic decisions, indicating a shift towards incorporating psychological insights into economic research.

Declining or Waning

While 'Economic Record' continues to publish on a wide array of topics, certain themes have shown a decline in frequency and prominence in recent years. These waning scopes indicate shifts in research focus and emerging priorities within the field.
  1. Traditional Economic Theories:
    There appears to be a diminishing emphasis on classical economic theories without integration of contemporary critiques or empirical applications. Research that solely relies on traditional frameworks without considering modern developments is becoming less common.
  2. Globalization and Trade Theory:
    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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
