Trending and Emerging

Recent publications indicate a heightened interest in green industrial policy, particularly how environmental considerations are integrated into industrial strategy. This reflects global trends towards sustainability and climate change mitigation. - Digital Trade and E-Commerce:
There is an increasing focus on the impact of digital trade and e-commerce on enterprise competitiveness. This theme is gaining relevance as businesses adapt to the digital economy, highlighting the need for new regulatory frameworks. - Economic Vulnerability and Resilience:

Declining or Waning
- Traditional Anti-Trust Policy:
The frequency of papers focusing on classical anti-trust issues has decreased. This may indicate a shift towards more nuanced discussions around competition policy in the context of digital markets and global trade. - Basic Economic Theories of Trade:
There seems to be a reduction in the publication of papers centered on foundational economic theories related to trade, such as comparative advantage. This could suggest a move towards practical applications and empirical analyses over theoretical discussions. - Focus on Localized Industry Studies:
Research specifically examining localized industries and their dynamics appears to be less frequent. The journal is increasingly emphasizing broader, global perspectives and comparative analyses across regions.
