Aims and Scopes

The Economic and Social Review (ESR) aims to provide a forum for the dissemination of high-quality research that addresses key issues in economics and social sciences, particularly in the context of Ireland and the broader European landscape. The journal fosters interdisciplinary dialogue among economists, sociologists, and policy analysts, facilitating the exploration of socio-economic challenges and their implications for public policy.
  1. Economic Policy and Analysis:
    Focuses on empirical and theoretical analyses of economic policies, including taxation, public spending, and labor market dynamics, with an emphasis on their impacts on various socio-economic groups.
  2. Social Welfare and Inequality:
    Examines the dimensions of social welfare, income distribution, and inequality in Ireland, exploring how these factors influence overall well-being and economic stability.
  3. Labor Market Studies:
    Investigates labor market trends, including employment rates, job turnover, and the impacts of policy measures on different demographics, particularly vulnerable groups such as youth and disabled individuals.
  4. Regional Economic Development:
    Analyzes regional disparities and economic development strategies in Ireland, focusing on local labor markets, trade dynamics, and the effects of globalization.
  5. Interdisciplinary Approaches to Global Issues:
    Encourages research that combines economic and sociological perspectives to address global challenges such as climate change, migration, and public health crises.
The Economic and Social Review has seen a rise in research themes that reflect contemporary socio-economic challenges and the evolving landscape of public policy. The following emerging themes highlight the journal's responsiveness to current issues.
  1. Impact of COVID-19 on Economy and Society:
    A significant increase in research related to the economic and social impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including labor market disruptions, changes in consumption patterns, and the effectiveness of government interventions.
  2. Digital Transformation and Economic Resilience:
    Emerging focus on how digitalization affects economic structures and labor markets, particularly regarding the challenges and opportunities presented by the 'twin transition' of digital and climate change.
  3. Social Inclusion and Well-Being:
    Increased attention to issues of social inclusion, particularly concerning marginalized groups such as NEET youth and individuals with disabilities, emphasizing the importance of social policies in promoting well-being.
  4. Cross-Country Comparative Studies:
    A trend towards comparative analyses that examine Ireland's economic and social policies in relation to other EU member states, providing broader insights into effective policy measures.
  5. Sustainability and Climate Policy:
    Growing interest in sustainability-related research, particularly how economic policies can be adapted to address climate change challenges and promote sustainable development.

Declining or Waning

While the Economic and Social Review has consistently focused on various socio-economic themes, certain areas have shown a decline in prominence over the recent years. This waning scope indicates a shift in research focus and priorities within the journal.
  1. Historical Economic Analysis:
    There has been a noticeable reduction in papers focusing on historical economic analyses, such as long-term studies on economic trends or historical taxation policies, as contemporary issues gain more attention.
  2. Environmental Economics:
    Although environmental issues remain critical, the specific focus on environmental economics as a standalone theme has decreased, likely overshadowed by more immediate socio-economic challenges such as those arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.
  3. Quantitative Methodologies in Social Research:
    The use of traditional quantitative methodologies has waned, with a growing preference for qualitative and mixed-method approaches that allow for deeper insights into social issues and policy implications.
