The Influence of the Culture of the Scientific Community on the Methodology of Economic Science

Abstract

Tendencies in the development of the culture of the scientific community over the last decade are identified according to an analysis of keywords of articles indexed in the Scopus database. In order to determine development trends in the methodology of economic science, an evaluation of the research topics of Nobel Economics Prize laureates of the 21st century was carried out. Comparison of the development trends of the culture of scientific community and the research topics of Nobel Prize laureates allows for inferences to be drawn concerning the future direction of economic science.
