Setting the ground for green bond research: Insights from a bibliometric analysis

A recent introduction of green bonds, strong growth of this market and the increasing academic interest that followed require a systematic assessment of the first decade of green bond research. The aim of the paper is to gain bibliometric insights about the development and intellectual structure of this specific research domain. Science mapping of the Web of Science indexed publications, including citation analysis, co-citation analysis and bibliographical coupling, revealed: (1) the interdisciplinary nature of the field and subject categories covered (business finance, environmental sciences, green sustainable science technology, economics, environmental studies) ; (2) who are the most-cited topic-specific authors (Mathews ; Siswantoro ; Kidney) and journals (Journal of Cleaner Production ; Energy Policy) ; (3) which sources are the most relevant for framing green bond research (Energy Policy ; Journal of Banking & Finance ; Journal of Cleaner Production ; Journal of Business Ethics) ; and (4) emerging themes and ongoing developments (the green bond market, the institutional and regulatory perspective of green bonds, the green bond risk-return profile, investors’ pro- environmental preferences).
