Bibliomapping Global Trends in Fiscal Policy Research: An Overview of Post Pandemic Studies

Abstract

This study employs a bibliometric approach to analyze global trends in fiscal policy research in the post-pandemic era. Using data from the Scopus database, the study covers publications from 2020 to 2024, identifying growth patterns, key themes, and collaborative networks. The analysis reveals significant growth in fiscal policy research, with a focus on economic recovery strategies and resilience following the COVID-19 pandemic. Keyword analysis highlights dominant themes such as government spending, tax policy, and economic stabilization measures. Co-authorship and institutional collaboration analysis indicate a high level of cross-institutional cooperation among practitioners, regulators, and academics, reflecting a shift towards more integrated and multidisciplinary research. This study provides a comprehensive overview of post-pandemic fiscal policy research, offering insights into emerging trends and collaborative practices that can inform future research and policy-making. The findings underscore the critical role of fiscal policy in addressing global economic challenges and promoting sustainable growth.
