Abstract: Abstract The goal of this article is to use content analysis to examine the research field delimitated by both of them entreprenorial ecosystem and informality-. In order to do that, more than 400 publications from Web of Science, covering the period 1991–2021, have been extracted focusing on most globally cited documents focusing only on documents from the superior quartile. The empirical results highlighted that the articles with the most unique words is the Twenty-five years of research on institutions, entrepreneurship, and economic growth: what has been learned? by D. Urbano, S. Aparicio, and D. Audretsch, which examines a new field of research that gives insight on the institutional factors that determine entrepreneurial activity and its impact on economic growth. Also, topic modelling results suggested the existence of three main classes of topics covered by this area, as folllows: topic 1-identified by ‘institutions’, ‘economic’, ‘growth’, ‘entrepreneurial’ and ‘countries’; the second one described in terms of ‘informal’, ‘economy’, ‘economic’, ‘social’ and ‘employed’ while the last one identified through ‘firms’, ‘informal’, ‘income’, ‘tax’, ‘countries’.
