Abstract

We apply bibliometric analysis to the review papers published in the finance domain, considering 264 review and qualitative studies. The approach applied in this study involves using review studies published in finance literature from 2000 to 2022, predominantly aiming at the pedigree of such papers and unfolding the renaissance experienced by such papers in recent years. We apply bibliometric analysis to know the most influential countries, authors, institutions, and journals publishing review papers. Results of the study identified four literature review clusters: The first cluster is related to ‘corporate finance and financial markets’, the second cluster combines the studies related to ‘financial innovations and Fintech’, the third cluster is related to ‘social finance and financial inclusion’, and finally, the fourth cluster combines the studies related to ‘CSR and corporate governance’. We conclude that the bibliometric analysis and literature review papers are critical for identifying and highlighting the emerging problems in finance and motivating future academics to pursue further investigations and provide solutions.

金融学评论论文的文献计量分析：过去二十年的证据

我们对金融领域发表的综述论文进行了文献计量分析，考虑了 264 篇综述和定性研究。本研究采用的方法包括使用 2000 年至 2022 年期间在金融文献中发表的综述研究报告，主要目的是了解此类论文的来龙去脉，并揭示此类论文近年来所经历的复兴。我们运用文献计量分析法了解发表综述论文的最有影响力的国家、作者、机构和期刊。研究结果确定了四个文献综述集群：第一个集群与 "公司金融和金融市场 "相关，第二个集群综合了与 "金融创新和金融科技 "相关的研究，第三个集群与 "社会金融和金融普惠 "相关，最后，第四个集群综合了与 "企业社会责任和公司治理 "相关的研究。我们得出的结论是，文献计量分析和文献综述论文对于发现和强调金融领域新出现的问题以及激励未来学者开展进一步研究并提供解决方案至关重要。

期刊介绍： The scope of the Review of Financial Economics (RFE) is broad. The RFE publishes original research in finance (e.g. corporate finance, investments, financial institutions and international finance) and economics (e.g. monetary theory, fiscal policy, and international economics). It specifically encourages submissions that apply economic principles to financial decision making. For example, while RFE will publish papers which study the behavior of security prices and those which provide analyses of monetary and fiscal policies, it will offer a special forum for articles which examine the impact of macroeconomic factors on the behavior of security prices.
