ABSTRACT

This study utilizes a scientometric/bibliometric analysis to map the status quo of research on finance-growth from 2005 to 2022. By using a sample of 404 articles from the Web of Science Core Collection database and the VOSviewer computer software, the study documented the following: First, research on finance-growth has reached the growth stage with 2021 recording the highest number of publications. Second, business and economics journals have published the largest number of articles. Besides, the USA and China have produced the largest number of articles while Eastern Mediterranean University, Monash University, and Universiti Sains Malaysia are the leading institutions in finance-growth research. Furthermore, Levine Ross, Beck Thorsten, and King Robert can be credited with the modern finance-growth thesis. Finally, economic growth and financial development are the leading keywords in the field.
