Trending and Emerging
- Sustainability and Green Trade:
There is a marked increase in research focusing on sustainable trade practices and the environmental implications of trade, including the impact of corporate ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance on international business. - Digitalization and E-Commerce:
The rise of digital trade and e-commerce is a prominent theme, with studies exploring how digital platforms transform traditional trade practices and enhance cross-border transactions. - Impact of Global Crises on Trade:
Recent publications are increasingly analyzing how global crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, affect trade dynamics, investment flows, and supply chain resilience. - Cross-Cultural Trade Dynamics:
Research is emerging on the influence of cultural factors on trade behavior, particularly in the context of Korean businesses operating in diverse international markets. - Data-Driven Trade Analysis:
The use of advanced data analytics and econometric modeling to analyze trade patterns and performance is gaining traction, reflecting a shift towards more empirical and quantitative research methodologies.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Trade Theories:
Research based on classical trade theories seems to be declining as scholars increasingly focus on empirical and contemporary issues rather than theoretical frameworks that do not adequately address current complexities. - Local Market Analyses:
There is a noticeable shift away from studies that solely focus on local or domestic market analyses, as the journal pivots towards more global perspectives and comparative studies involving multiple countries. - Generalized Economic Growth Models:
The use of broad economic growth models without specific context or application to trade dynamics has decreased, as there is a growing demand for more nuanced and data-driven approaches. - Static Economic Comparisons:
Comparative studies that do not consider dynamic factors such as technological change, policy shifts, or evolving consumer behavior are becoming less prevalent, as researchers seek more relevant and actionable insights. - Narrow Sector Focus:
Research concentrated on very specific sectors without considering intersectoral linkages is waning, as the journal encourages more holistic approaches that consider broader economic contexts.
