Declining or Waning
- Traditional Public Goods Analysis:
Research specifically focused on the provision and efficiency of traditional public goods has seen a decline, possibly due to the increasing complexity of public finance issues that encompass broader economic impacts. - Basic Welfare Economics:
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:
While still relevant, the volume of research specifically addressing urban economic issues, such as zoning and land use, appears to have waned in favor of broader socio-economic analyses. - Labor Market Regulation:
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:
The journal has seen fewer contributions centered on traditional economic growth models, as emphasis shifts towards the implications of growth on inequality and welfare.
