Downloads
Abstract
The exhaustive review of relevant publications in a field of study constitutes one of the fundamental and primordial stages when initiating a research work, as it provides a clear understanding of the current situation and the pertinent topics associated with the subject in question. This article establishes a method to analyze the scientific trends in Development Economics. This methodology identifies the advances in this discipline through bibliometric techniques based on indicators obtained from Scopus and Web of Science (WoS), two of the most recognized databases in the scientific world for their level of impact. From a total of 595 documents published during the period 2010-2022, we analyzed: the evolution of scientific production, the most cited authors, the countries with the highest production, the co-occurrence of keywords and network analysis. The results indicate that scientific production in development economics has experienced an average growth of 7% per year, the most prominent research areas are economic, social, development studies, environmental studies, business and management, econometrics, finance and agricultural economics policies. The author with the most publications is Alacevich, M., the country with the highest scientific production is the United States with 27.23% of the total number of published papers. In addition, some promising avenues for future research were identified, focusing on the fields: economics and migration; development and environment; economic development policies; financial inclusion and development; and finally, institutions and development.
