Bibliometric Analysis of Refugee Effects to Economic Development

Öz

The global refugee crisis presents significant challenges to economic development, especially in developing countries and regions that host large numbers of refugees. This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research conducted on the effects of refugees on economic development over the past three decades. The study utilized the Web of Science (WoS) database to identify and analyze scholarly publications related to the topic of economic impact of refugees. The analysis focused on trends, patterns, and key themes in the literature. The results indicate a growing body of research on the topic, with particular emphasis on the effects of refugees on food aid, market outcomes, labor markets, and macroeconomic performance. The study examines the economic impact of refugees to countries, specifically their effects on labor markets, housing, food prices, and employment sectors. The study employs bibliometric analysis to systematically review and synthesize existing research, providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge on the subject. The findings enhance comprehension of the economic consequences of refugee movements and can guide policy and practice in the realm of economic development and refugee integration.

Mültecilerin Ekonomik Kalkınmaya Etkilerinin Bibliyometrik Analizi

Öz

Küresel mülteci krizi, özellikle gelişmekte olan ülkelerde ve çok sayıda mülteciye ev sahipliği yapan bölgelerde ekonomik kalkınma açısından önemli zorluklar ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Bu çalışma, son otuz yılda mültecilerin ekonomik kalkınma üzerindeki etkileri üzerine yapılan araştırmaların kapsamlı bir bibliyometrik analizini sunmaktadır. Çalışmada, mültecilerin ekonomik etkisi konusuyla ilgili bilimsel yayınları belirlemek ve analiz etmek için Web of Science (WoS) veri tabanı kullanılmıştır. Analiz, literatürdeki eğilimlere, kalıplara ve temel temalara odaklanmıştır. Sonuçlar, mültecilerin gıda yardımı, piyasa sonuçları, işgücü piyasaları ve makroekonomik performans üzerindeki etkilerine özellikle vurgu yaparak, konuyla ilgili artan bir araştırma kitlesine işaret etmektedir. Çalışma, mültecilerin ülkeler üzerindeki ekonomik etkilerini, özellikle de işgücü piyasaları, konut, gıda fiyatları ve istihdam sektörleri üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektedir. Çalışma, mevcut araştırmaları sistematik olarak gözden geçirmek ve sentezlemek için bibliyometrik analiz kullanmakta ve konuyla ilgili mevcut bilgi durumuna kapsamlı bir genel bakış sağlamaktadır. Bulgular, mülteci hareketlerinin ekonomik sonuçlarının daha iyi anlaşılmasını sağlayarak ekonomik kalkınma ve mülteci entegrasyonu alanındaki politika ve uygulamalara rehberlik edebilir.
