Aims and Scopes

The journal 'Structural Change and Economic Dynamics' primarily aims to explore the interconnections between structural changes in economies, institutions, and the dynamics that drive economic performance. It emphasizes the importance of understanding economic transformations through various theoretical and empirical lenses, particularly with respect to their implications for policy and practice.
  1. Structural Economic Dynamics:
    The journal focuses on the dynamics of structural change within economies, examining how shifts in industry, technology, and policy can influence economic growth and development.
  2. Environmental Economics:
    A significant area of focus is the interplay between economic activities and environmental outcomes, including the impact of carbon emissions, resource usage, and sustainable practices on economic structures.
  3. Global Value Chains (GVCs):
    The analysis of global value chains and their role in shaping economic outcomes, particularly in developing countries, is central to the journal's scope, including issues of inequality and productivity.
  4. Institutional Analysis:
    The journal emphasizes the role of institutions in economic dynamics, exploring how governance, policy frameworks, and institutional quality affect economic performance and structural change.
  5. Technological Change and Innovation:
    Technological advancements and their implications for structural transformation and economic growth are a core aspect of the journal’s focus, examining how innovation influences productivity and labor markets.
  6. Labor Market Dynamics:
    The journal investigates labor market changes in the context of structural transformations, including the effects of automation, digitalization, and labor policies on employment and wage dynamics.
Recent publications in 'Structural Change and Economic Dynamics' reveal emerging themes that reflect contemporary challenges and opportunities within economic research. This section outlines these trending topics, showcasing their relevance and potential impact.
  1. Sustainable Development and Green Economics:
    There is a significant increase in research focusing on sustainable development, particularly in relation to climate change, carbon emissions, and the transition to a low-carbon economy, highlighting the growing importance of environmental sustainability in economic dynamics.
  2. Digital Transformation and the Economy:
    The impact of digitalization on economic structures, labor markets, and productivity is a rapidly growing theme, reflecting the transformative role of technology in shaping modern economies.
  3. Inequality and Economic Disparities:
    Research on economic inequality, particularly in the context of global value chains and labor market dynamics, is gaining traction, emphasizing the need to address disparities arising from structural changes.
  4. Resilience and Adaptation in Economic Systems:
    Emerging studies focus on the resilience of economies in the face of shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic, exploring how structural changes can enhance or undermine economic stability and adaptability.
  5. Social and Institutional Factors in Economic Change:
    There is a growing emphasis on the role of social and institutional factors in driving structural change, with research increasingly examining how governance, cultural contexts, and institutional frameworks influence economic dynamics.

Declining or Waning

While the journal continues to evolve, certain themes have seen a decline in prominence over recent years. This section highlights these waning scopes, indicating shifts in research interest and focus.
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Conventional Trade Theories:
    Conventional trade theories that do not integrate environmental or social dimensions are becoming less prominent, with the journal's focus shifting towards more comprehensive frameworks that consider sustainability and equity.
