Bibliometric Analysis of Research on Household Income Transmission through the Banking System

Purpose of the study – To identify the current state, dynamics, and major research directions in the field of household income transmission through the banking system, as well as to determine promising areas for further research.

Methodology – The study employs a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications addressing household income transmission through the banking system. Scopus was used as the primary database. The sample comprises 54 scientific publications selected based on key terms related to households, household income, banks, and income transmission. Scopus, VOSviewer, and ATLAS.ti were used to analyze publication activity, citation patterns, the structure and dynamics of scientific research, and to visualize relationships among research areas.

Research findings – The study identifies the main trends in the development of research on household income transmission through the banking system, the most cited publications and authors, and the key research directions. The analysis made it possible to determine the structure and dynamics of the scientific discourse and to identify promising areas for further research.

Scientific value of the study lies in the systematization and structuring of scientific publications addressing household income transmission through the banking system, the identification of key research directions, and the determination of prospects for the development of this research field. The findings can provide a basis for further theoretical and empirical studies of the relationship between the banking system, household income, and socio-economic development.
