A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW ON BUSINESS CYCLES AND MICROECONOMICS

Over the past 150 years, business cycles have been extensively studied. However, there needs to be more research comparing the field's evolution since 1900 with microeconomics, which would provide a broader perspective on both fields. We reviewed more than 7.5 million citations and more than three thousand publications on Google Scholar and Scopus databases through a systematic literature review. The evidence suggests a gradual increase in citations over the decades, with a significant discontinuity in the 2020s due to the coronavirus pandemic. This pandemic has dramatically affected academic production in this research field. Nevertheless, key findings highlighted the global coverage and the top publications in such a field.
