Declining or Waning
- Traditional Labor Market Theories:
Research that primarily relied on classical economic theories of labor markets appears to be declining, as newer studies incorporate behavioral economics and experimental methodologies. - Gender Discrimination in the Workplace:
Although still a relevant topic, the frequency of papers specifically addressing gender discrimination has decreased, possibly due to a broader integration of gender issues into various labor market studies. - Longitudinal Studies of Single Factors:
