Abstract

Economic growth impacts environmental quality based on how natural resources are used. The change in environmental quality is thought to be related to public health. This study examines 2041 publications from 1991 to 2023 through bibliometric analysis using the VOS Viewer software. The analysis focuses on publications related to economics, identified using the keywords “Environmental Quality, Economic Growth, and Health” in the Web of Science database. The key point of this study is aimed to have a detailed literature review of the line between economic growth, environmental quality, and health. As a conclusion, it is believed that “there is a need for studies examining the economic causes and consequences of environmental quality, economic growth, and health to become widespread nexus” For the studies to be widespread, previous studies on this subject should be searched and necessary gaps should be identified. Final aim is to provide to make offers to fill the gaps in the literature.
