Abstract

Purpose Finance continuously evolves as the technological innovation progresses in the society. Numerous prior studies have discussed emerging financial services due to this innovation. However, limited scholarly work has evaluated the trends and state of the art of financial innovation. Therefore, this study aims to review recent literature on financial innovation by using a bibliometric and content-analysis approach. Design/methodology/approach Documents for this study are sampled from financial innovation, a journal focusing on recent innovations in finance. A total of 354 peer-reviewed articles published in eight years (2015–2022) are first examined and mapped using the bibliometrix package in RStudio software. Furthermore, content analysis was performed to investigate the adopted research methods and types, and produce directions for future studies. Findings The trend of financial innovation research kept increasing, with China as the leader in publication quantity, affiliation productivity and paper citation acquisition. Topics related to “FinTech,” “Bitcoin” and “Covid-19” have been the most discussed topics by financial innovation researchers. FinTech and Bitcoin studies are expected to grow in emerging countries like China, India and Pakistan. The study also indicates that most financial innovation studies use quantitative research methods and are categorized as empirical papers. Originality/value This study contributes to the finance literature by comprehensively evaluating current research on financial innovation using one specific journal in the field. Also, this study examines financial innovation literature using different approaches from previous bibliometric financial innovation studies.

金融创新：文献计量与内容分析研究

目的随着社会技术革新的发展，金融也在不断发展。以往的许多研究都讨论了这种创新所带来的新兴金融服务。然而，对金融创新的趋势和现状进行评估的学术著作非常有限。因此，本研究旨在采用文献计量学和内容分析法，对有关金融创新的最新文献进行回顾。设计/方法/途径本研究的文献取自《金融创新》，这是一本关注金融领域最新创新的期刊。首先使用 RStudio 软件中的 bibliometrix 软件包对八年内（2015-2022 年）发表的共 354 篇同行评审文章进行研究和映射。研究结果金融创新研究呈上升趋势，中国在论文发表量、关联生产率和论文被引次数方面均处于领先地位。金融科技"、"比特币 "和 "Covid-19 "是金融创新研究者讨论最多的话题。在中国、印度和巴基斯坦等新兴国家，金融科技和比特币研究有望增长。研究还表明，大多数金融创新研究使用定量研究方法，并被归类为实证性论文。原创性/价值本研究通过使用该领域的一份特定期刊对当前的金融创新研究进行全面评估，为金融文献做出了贡献。此外，本研究还采用与以往文献计量学金融创新研究不同的方法，对金融创新文献进行了研究。
