Abstract

This paper conducts a ten-year bibliometric analysis of Economics Letters journal to uncover the emerging trends in economic research, as well as their specifics. The results of the co-citation and co-word analysis provide information on the most popular references, scholarly approved journals and trendiest economics fields. For example, monetary policy is a highly investigated field, while panel data analysis and experiments are the most used statistical methods. These results could serve scholars as a guide by putting their scientific work in the current perspective and aiding them to discover future research paths.
