Abstract

This chapter examines the evolution and development of the main lines of research focused on the study of information asymmetry based on a bibliometric analysis from 1979 to 2021. Likewise, the sociological foundations that have given rise to this term are highlighted. The application of several bibliometric models has made it possible to point out future lines of research, fundamentally focused on three differentiated fields: advancing in the implementation of theoretical principles, establishing new explanatory models, and delving deeper into the mechanisms underlying the dynamics of prices.
