The main objective of this work is to know the situation of the intellectual structure of the scientific community researching “extreme poverty,” especially to identify the most relevant authors, journals, and descriptors. In addition, the authors intend to present evidence that allows these researchers and other interested groups to improve the efficiency in acquiring high-impact knowledge on the topic. Through bibliometric analysis, both at the count and relationship levels (in this case with social network analysis [SNA] technique), they have carried out a study of the characteristics and intellectual structure of the academic and scientific network that has addressed the issue of extreme poverty. This work makes an important contribution to the literature on “extreme poverty” since it is the first known work that raises the intellectual structure of this topic from a multidisciplinary perspective.
There are two objectives that impel this work: first, to propose a valid, reliable, and parsimonious poverty index, named Municipal Poverty Index-Urban Audit (MPI-UA), and second, to describe the evolution of the multidimensional poverty risk of the Spanish municipalities according to C. For the construction of the MPI-UA, the information provided by the URBAN AUDIT database on Spanish municipalities with a population in excess of 20,000 inhabitants has been used. The validated data have been analyzed with the PLS technique to identify the variables that allow the establishment of the MPI-UA, although previously certain variables have had to be transformed. This chapter has valuable implications insofar as there is no known multidimensional poverty index for Spanish municipalities. Moreover, it may be of probable use for academics. In the case of local managers, the index can be useful both for the knowledge of the situation and for the design of public policies to reduce poverty.
The authors intend to identify the level of entrepreneurial intention and multidimensional poverty of the population of a Spanish rural municipality; secondly, they want to know the impact of the factors that, according to the theory of planned behavior, determine the entrepreneurial intention; thirdly, they attempt to show the characteristics of the relationship between the entrepreneurial intention and multidimensional poverty; and, fourthly, and in light of previously generated knowledge, strategies, programs, projects, and/or actions that contribute to the reduction of multidimensional poverty will be proposed. This research provides social utility and is original to the extent that it remedies a weakness in the literature consulted: the deficit of studies that contemplate, from both the theoretical and empirical perspective, the relationship between entrepreneurial intention and multidimensional poverty.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
