Trending and Emerging
- Digital Platforms and Market Behavior:
Research increasingly emphasizes the role of digital platforms, analyzing their pricing strategies, exclusivity clauses, and the competitive landscape they create, highlighting the growing significance of platforms in the economy. - Impact of Mobile Technology on Economic Outcomes:
Recent studies have focused on how mobile technology influences employment and economic dynamics in emerging markets, showcasing the transformative power of mobile networks. - Net Neutrality and Innovation:
The implications of net neutrality on innovation and market dynamics are gaining attention, reflecting ongoing debates and regulatory considerations in the digital economy. - Sustainability and Welfare in Network Economics:

The relevance of interoperability among mobile money agents and network operators is increasingly recognized, as financial technology continues to evolve and integrate into daily economic activities.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Telecommunications Models:
Research focusing on classical models of telecommunications such as fixed-line networks and their regulation seems to be decreasing as newer technologies and business models emerge. - Consumer Churn Studies:
Although consumer behavior remains a vital area, specific studies on consumer churn in traditional markets, like telecommunications, are less frequent, possibly due to market saturation and the rise of more complex consumer engagement metrics. - E-Commerce in Traditional Retail Spaces:
The focus on the impact of e-commerce on traditional grocery and retail competition has diminished, as the landscape evolves rapidly with new business models and consumer preferences.
