Studies rooted in classical welfare economics are less frequent, as contemporary research increasingly incorporates behavioral insights and empirical data to address more nuanced issues. - Urban Economics:

The focus on regulatory aspects of labor markets has decreased, with a shift towards more empirical investigations of labor market outcomes rather than theoretical discussions of regulation. - Economic Growth Models:
