Declining or Waning
- Traditional Neoclassical Economics:
There has been a noticeable decline in articles that strictly adhere to neoclassical economic theories, indicating a shift towards more interdisciplinary approaches that incorporate behavioral and institutional perspectives. - Static Analyses of Institutions:
Research that focuses solely on static analyses of institutions without considering their dynamic evolution or interaction with other variables seems to be less prevalent, reflecting a growing interest in more complex, adaptive institutional frameworks. - Focus on Purely Quantitative Methods:
While quantitative analyses remain important, there appears to be a waning interest in studies that rely exclusively on quantitative methods without integrating qualitative insights, suggesting a broader acceptance of mixed-method approaches. - Overemphasis on Legal Formalism:
Themes strictly centered on legal formalism and rigid institutional frameworks are declining, as scholars increasingly recognize the importance of informal institutions and social norms in shaping economic outcomes. - Historical Institutionalism in Isolation:
Research that examines historical institutionalism in isolation, without connecting it to contemporary issues or interdisciplinary contexts, is becoming less common, indicating a shift towards more integrative analyses.
