A review of inflation from 1906 to 2022: a comprehensive analysis of inflation studies from a global perspective

Abstract

Research background: Inflation has always been the core issue of economic research and there are many academic research achievements in this field. In recent years, global inflation has intensified, and many scholars focus on research in this field again, providing certain reference value for countries around the world to formulate corresponding macro policies. Purpose of the article: The five-year impact factors are used as the evaluation criteria in this paper, and 1,637 high-quality documents on inflation from 1906 to 2022 are collected from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Using bibliometrics, a comprehensive review of influential literature in the field of inflation is conducted to reveal the evolution and trends of the field. Methods: First, we focus on these high-quality documents about the descriptive statistical characteristics, high cited documents and high impact factor journals. Then, based on the visualization tool, the cooperative network of countries/regions, authors and institutions is depicted and the cooperative relationship between them is determined. At the same time, the most influential countries/regions, authors and institutions are identified by analyzing the citation structure. In addition, through thematic and keyword analysis, the topic hotspots and future research trends of high-quality literature in the field of inflation are deduced. Findings & value added: On the whole, the research on inflation in the United States is relatively mature, and has produced a large number of influential academic cooperation results. Finally, we have a series of discussions on the history of inflation in the United States and policy suggestions. In the future, governments of various countries, especially the United States, will still face certain challenges in how to formulate policies and measures to mitigate the impact of inflation.

Competitiveness and innovation of small and medium enter-prises under Industry 4.0 and 5.0 challenges: A comprehensive bibliometric analysis

“…Bibliometrics is one of the most critical research domains that quantitatively analyzes patterns in scientific literature to understand global trends and the intellectual structure of the field analyzed (Cobo et al, 2011;Mishra et al, 2020). While analyzing secondary data from digital scientific databases, it facilitates a methodical, transparent, and replicable review process, consequently bolstering the reliability and overall quality of the review (Velasco-Muñoz et al, 2022;Wang et al, 2022a).…”

A systematic literature review on business cycle approaches: Measurement, nature, duration

“…Based on this paradigm, the new Keynesian school had achieved a good fit for real-world data, and they believed that both supply shocks and demand shocks played pivotal roles in economic cyclical fluctuations. Furthermore, 941 they contended that both fiscal and monetary policies exerted substantial influence on these economic cyclic variations (Wang et al, 2022).…”
