Abstract

The purpose of this research is to describe the main characteristics and steps about how elaborate an intellectual bibliography of global academic production related to the topic “economic behavior” in economy, business administration and management, making a descriptive analysis of the structure, intellectual contain and development. Methodology consisted in a bibliometric analysis of the science database Web of Science, using R, a mathematic and statistic software. A database was built with 12,668 articles related to “economic behavior” and “behavioral economy” from 2000 to 2020. Data analysis revealed a level of correlation between both searches, nevertheless, this was not an absolute correlation, which highlight the importance of a good delimitation of bibliometric parameters.
