Declining or Waning
- Traditional Industrial Policies:
There is a noticeable decline in the discourse surrounding traditional industrial policies that focus solely on protectionism and state intervention, as the journal increasingly emphasizes innovative and sustainable approaches to industrial development. - Macro-Economic Stability:
Research focusing on macroeconomic stability without considering structural dynamics has waned, reflecting a shift towards understanding economic fluctuations in the context of structural changes and their long-term implications. - Simplistic Economic Models:
The use of overly simplistic economic models that do not account for the complexities of structural change and institutional factors is declining, as the journal increasingly favors models that incorporate a broader range of variables and dynamics. - Conventional Trade Theories:
