Abstract

This study presents a bibliometric analysis, the aim being the investigation of the scientific works carried out on the topic of research specific to the field of financial development and the implications on economic growth, as well as the analysis of the connection between the themes in the research area. The relationship between financial development and economic growth is widely addressed in the field of research, encountering various hypotheses regarding the direction and sign of influence between these 2 components. As a result, the number of works is significant, and such an analysis allows us to rank and identify the most cited authors as well as the most popular research centers in the given field. Using the Web of Science database, which provides numerous bibliometric indicators, we investigated 7839 references in the field of interest from 2000-2023. The analysis was carried out with the help of the VOSviewer research tool, which allows the visualization of similarities between works. Thus, we analyzed and created maps for keyword co-occurrence, coauthorship as well as co-citations in the field of financial development and economic growth. This analysis allows us not only to identify the works in the area of interest, but also provides a detailed picture of the authors, institutions and countries that develop research and give special importance to the study in the field we are targeting. The results of the analysis highlight the existence of a strong link between financial development and economic growth with other extended areas such as the environment. Also, the study shows that most of the research takes place in countries such as China, USA, Turkey, and the collaboration between the authors allows researchers to carry out studies in centers in less developed countries such as Pakistan.
