Declining or Waning
- Neoclassical Economic Theories:

There is a noticeable reduction in studies employing standard economic models (e.g., DSGE models), as scholars seek more nuanced and realistic representations of economic phenomena. - Historical Economic Analysis:
While historical perspectives remain relevant, there has been a decline in papers solely focused on historical economic analysis, with a shift towards more contemporary issues and their immediate implications. - Conventional Trade Theories:
The journal has seen fewer submissions that engage with conventional trade theories, as researchers explore alternative perspectives that account for complexities in global trade dynamics. - Single-Factor Explanations:
