The article employs bibliometric technique to analyse 161 articles published on ESG investments after 2007 in Scopus database. The data were analysed using VOS viewer. There was a sudden surge in publications is ESG investments after COVID pandemic. Seven clusters emerged out of bibliographic coupling; ESG risk and return, preferences for ESG investments, ESG investments under shocks, usage of ESG information, influence of ESG rating and determinants of ESG investment. The study provides insights into the evolution of ESG investing over time and across organizations and countries. The results indicate that ESG investments provide an alternative way to manage risk-reward trade-off. The study presents the prominent countries, institutions, sources, authors and cited articles in the area of ESG investments.

ESG投资文献的分类与演化:文献计量学分析

环境、社会和治理(ESG)投资已成为平衡可持续性、责任和盈利能力的可行途径，本研究对其进行了探讨。本文采用文献计量学方法对Scopus数据库中2007年以后发表的161篇ESG投资相关文章进行了分析。采用VOS观察仪对数据进行分析。在COVID大流行之后，出版物的ESG投资突然激增。书目耦合产生了七个集群;ESG风险与回报、ESG投资偏好、冲击下的ESG投资、ESG信息的使用、ESG评级的影响以及ESG投资的决定因素。该研究提供了ESG投资随时间、跨组织和国家演变的见解。结果表明，ESG投资提供了一种管理风险回报权衡的替代方式。该研究展示了ESG投资领域的主要国家、机构、来源、作者和引用文章。研究结果将有利于对ESG投资感兴趣的投资者和政策制定者。
