Ethnic entrepreneurship: A bibliometric review and future research agenda

This article provides a bibliometric review based on 267 articles obtained from the Web of Science and SCOPUS databases. The objectives defined for this study were (1) to describe how the publications in this scientific area are organized concerning authors and the evolution of scientific production in the period under analysis; (2) to identify the most cited publications and authors; (3) to understand which scientific journals and countries have the highest scientific production in this area; and (4) to identify future research opportunities. To achieve the defined objectives, the database analysis focused on bibliometric indicators in the first phase. We conclude that ethnic entrepreneurship is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon, having implications in different communities and territories. Therefore, in addition to identifying and analyzing the main streams of the identified literature, this paper not only provides an overview of the state of the art and contributes to understanding ethnic entrepreneurship but also identifies an agenda for future research.
