Bibliometric Review of Research in Financial Health

Sepulveda Velasquez, Jorge (2021): Bibliometric Review of Research in Financial Health.

Abstract

Financial Health is a multi-dimensional concept that has taken shape over the past 20 years, and continues to develop. It arises from the incorporation of multidisciplinary components to the financial behaviour of individuals, allowing a good measurement of the quality of life of households and the economic stability of companies. In order to continue expanding the research associated with Financial Health, we have developed a bibliometric analysis that allows us to have a panoramic view of the most outstanding actors, institutions, authors, articles and countries that have the greatest importance worldwide. The research considers the use of VOSviewer software in order to model the bibliographic information associated with Financial Health and present it in an easy and simple manner to understand. The outcomes show a greater volume of publications from English speaking countries (United States, England, Australia and Canada) and the top 3 of the most cited sources is consistent with what we expected to get: 1 - Journal of Finance, 2 - Journal of Economics and Finance and 3 - American Economics Review. Finally, the institutions that most influence Financial Health research correspond to North American entities.
