Economics of Transition and Institutional Change
Scope & Guideline
Navigating the landscape of change: economics and institutions redefined.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Economic Transition Mechanisms:
Explores the processes and strategies through which economies transition from centrally planned to market-oriented systems, including the role of reforms, privatization, and institutional frameworks. - Institutional Change and Development:
Investigates how institutional frameworks adapt or evolve in response to economic changes and the implications of these developments for economic growth, governance, and social equity. - Impact of Policies on Economic Outcomes:
Analyzes the effects of various economic policies, including monetary, fiscal, and trade policies, on different aspects of economic performance, such as growth, inequality, and innovation. - Sectoral Analyses:
Focuses on specific sectors (e.g., labor markets, banking, technology) to understand the unique challenges and opportunities within these areas during periods of transition. - Regional Studies:
Conducts comparative analyses across different regions, particularly focusing on Central and Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa to derive insights relevant to local contexts.
Trending and Emerging
- Digital Economy and E-commerce:
Recent publications increasingly focus on the role of digital platforms and e-commerce in economic development, highlighting their impact on entrepreneurship, labor markets, and regional growth. - Environmental and Sustainable Development:
There is a rising trend in research examining the intersection of economic growth and environmental sustainability, addressing issues such as climate change, resource management, and sustainable practices. - Gender and Economic Empowerment:
Emerging research themes focus on the relationship between gender dynamics and economic empowerment, particularly in transitional economies, reflecting global movements towards gender equality. - The Role of Informality in Economic Development:
Studies exploring the implications of informal economies on growth and development are gaining traction, emphasizing the complexities and challenges posed by informal sectors in transitional contexts. - Impact of Global Crises on Institutional Change:
The journal is increasingly publishing research that examines how global crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, affect institutional frameworks and economic resilience, suggesting a shift towards understanding adaptive mechanisms.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional State-led Growth Models:
Research centered on traditional models of state-led growth has decreased, possibly due to a growing recognition of the importance of market mechanisms and private sector involvement in driving economic progress. - Overemphasis on Historical Case Studies:
While historical analyses provided valuable insights, there appears to be a diminishing trend in studies solely focused on historical case studies, shifting towards more empirical and contemporary analyses. - Corruption and Governance Issues:
Although still relevant, the frequency of papers specifically dedicated to corruption as a standalone theme has declined, indicating a potential shift towards integrating governance issues within broader economic analyses rather than treating them as isolated topics. - Macro-Level Economic Indicators:
Studies focusing exclusively on macroeconomic indicators without considering institutional or microeconomic factors have become less frequent, as there is a growing emphasis on nuanced, multi-dimensional analyses.
