Abstract

Regardless of the level of development, growth, development and employment are among the main objectives of every economy. Of course, the role of women, one of the two important parts of society in achieving these goals, is also very important. In other words, the contribution of all segments of society is needed to achieve sustainable development goals. On the other hand, every healthy woman experiences hormonal changes every month, and relevant studies reveal that these hormonal changes have an impact on economic decisions and behaviors. The aim of this study is to introduce the literature that contributes to the evaluation of the effects of the menstrual cycle on economic decisions and behaviors through a bibliometric analysis, especially in the context of experimental economics.. The evaluations in the study are important in terms of sustainable development, gender equality, growth, employment and even medical studies.

MENSTRÜEL DÖNGÜNÜN İKTİSADİ KARAR VE DAVRANIŞLARA ETKİLERİNİN BELİRLENMESİNDE DENEYSEL İKTİSAT UYGULAMALARI: BİBLİYOMETRİK BİR ANALİZ

Abstract

Hangi gelişmişlik düzeyinde olursa olsun, her ekonominin temel amaçları arasında büyüme, kalkınma ve istihdam mutlaka bulunmaktadır. Bu amaçlara ulaşmada toplumu oluşturan iki önemli parçadan biri olan kadınların rolü de elbette çok önemlidir. Bir başka deyişle, sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedeflerine ulaşmada toplumun tüm kesimlerinin katkısına ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Diğer yandan her sağlıklı kadın, her ay hormonal değişimler yaşamakta ve ilgili çalışmalar, bu hormon değişimlerinin iktisadi karar ve davranışlar üzerinde etkili olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, bibliyometrik bir analiz ile menstrüel döngünün, iktisadi karar ve davranışlara etkilerinin değerlendirilmesine katkı sağlayan literatürü, özellikle deneysel iktisat bağlamında tanıtmaktır. Çalışmadaki değerlendirmeler, sürdürülebilir kalkınma, toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği, büyüme, istihdam ve hatta tıbbi çalışmalar açısından önem taşımaktadır.
