Consumer Price Index Under The Influence Of Immigration: A Bibliometric Approach

Abstract

In recent years, immigration has been the subject of intense political debate. Although most people have a positive view of immigration, there are misunderstandings and concerns in societies about it. For example, some people believe that immigrants are a burden on the economy. In recently published studies on the subject, the economic impact of immigration in receiving countries can be analyzed and it could be concluded that immigration generally increases economic growth and productivity in those countries.  This paper has established a framework for the "immigration and consumer price index" nexus and highlighted the main areas of current research. A bibliometric analysis was applied using the Scopus database for the period 2010 to 2024. The data obtained were processed with the Biblioshiny application of the Bibliometrix studio package and the results obtained were as follows: the most productive year was 2020; the most prolific countries were, the USA, Spain, and Ukraine, while Social Indicators Research is the most relevant Magazine in this field. The three-field correlation analysis applied and the co-citation maps indicate that in general, the study yielded good results, since the terms and documents identified are closely related to the subject of the study.
