Abstract

Cap-and-trade regulation is an effective and flexible measure to migrate climate changes in supply chain management. As a result, supply chain management under cap-and-trade regulation (SCM-CAT) has been attracting an increasing amount of attention from both academics and industry. This paper presents a comprehensive and systemic literature review about the field of SCM-CAT based on bibliometric analysis and content analysis. After executing retrieval strategy settings and data cleaning, 563 (out of 2931) publications are selected and downloaded from two databases, including the Web of Science's core collection and Scopus. Bibliometric analysis is conducted to analyze the current status and evaluation path in the field of SCM-CAT, including yearly output, collaboration network analysis of regions and institutions, journal analysis, and co-citation sources. Content analysis focuses on the thematic area of the field of SCM-CAT in four clusters from co-citation analysis. According to the results of bibliometric and content analysis, six research gaps are identified to propose potential corresponding research opportunities and questions. This paper is beneficial for the scholars and practitioners who are exploring the field of SCM-CAT, because it promotes to realize the goals of sustainability, including economics, environment, and society.
