There is an emerging interest in the role of behavioral economics in engineering decision-making, examining how psychological factors influence economic outcomes in engineering projects.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Cost Accounting Techniques:
There has been a noticeable decline in publications focusing on conventional cost accounting methods, as newer methodologies like activity-based costing and fuzzy logic approaches gain traction. - Basic Economic Theories without Empirical Application:
Papers that solely discuss economic theories without empirical validation or application in engineering contexts have become less common, indicating a shift towards more practical and applied research. - Static Decision-Making Models:
Research centered around static models for investment decisions has waned, with more emphasis now placed on dynamic and real-time decision-making frameworks that account for uncertainty and market volatility. - Generalized Risk Assessment Frameworks:
There has been a decrease in generic risk assessment frameworks, with a trend towards more specialized models tailored to specific industries or scenarios, such as supply chain disruptions or renewable energy investments. - Single-Factor Analysis in Economic Studies:
The focus on single-factor analyses in economic studies is declining as multidisciplinary approaches that consider multiple variables and their interactions are becoming more favored.
