Abstract

The relationship between political economy and green innovation has been one of the most dynamic research in the field of green development recently. In this study, we conduct a scientometric analysis of 117 academic literature related to the field published from January 2005 to September 2023 using CiteSpace. The findings show an explosive growth trend of literature on this topic since 2020. Most of the literature used panel data to empirically explore the relationship between political economy and green innovation. Researchers have not only investigated the impact of political connections on green innovation, but also studied the mediating effects of these variables. The majority opinion is that political connections are detrimental to corporate green innovation. From the perspective of the sources of the literature, Chinese universities and scholars pay more attention to this field. Finally, we find that the literature related to political economy and green innovation is mainly published in energy-related journals.
