Abstract:
The main thrust of the study was to undertake a review of some of the statistical techniques that have widely been used in the area of Economic Rent (ER) Research. Articles related to ER were attained from the Scopus database using the Boolean search as well as the Google Scholar search engine. Several inclusion and exclusion steps were critically respected to achieve the appropriate articles for the study. It became evident that several Economic Rent researchers between 2018 - 2022 have depended heavily on the use of quantitative research strategy and also on qualitative data analysis techniques. The outstanding statistical technique was regression analysis, thematic analysis, and content analysis. The study recommends that more rigorous quantitative studies and quantitative analysis techniques should be conducted to foster the practicality of the economic rent concept and model.
