Description
Summary:The present study wants to analyze how the criteria underlying the decision to make an investment in the existing articles in the Web of Science are highlighted through bibliometric analysis. The query resulted in the display of 441 scientific articles. A specific filter applied to our selection was the choice of Citation Topics Meso: Economics, Management, Economic Theory to ensure that the analyzed articles are from the economic field. To determine the correlations regarding the countries of origin of the authors, we used the Co-authorship filter of VOSviewer, having a minimum number of 12 documents/country and a minimum number of 10 citations/country, so out of 71 countries only 16 met the conditions. A first analysis of the phrases used in the 441 articles was carried out with the help of the word cloud, from Wordart, regarding the words contained in the title of the article, the author's keywords, plus keywords and summaries. The second analysis was that of the phrase density, it was carried out through the VOSviewer software by applying the cooccurrence filter, for all keywords, with an appearance of at least 9 times, resulting in 4 clusters with a total of 53 items that define the process of taking decisions, analyze the investor's behavior and the structure that makes the investment, define the sources of investment financing and investment performance evaluation modalities and analyze the risk and uncertainty environment specific to investments. The results of our research can be a starting point for other analyses in the decision-making field of investments by providing keywords to start from.
