Abstract

The pandemic effects are still being perceived on the worldwide economy and economic growth is projected to slow in 2022 and 2023 compared to 2021. In this "bad" environment, the war in Ukraine severely affected European countries' economies and all world economies as a domino effect. This paper investigates public sector performance in European countries in recent literature by analyzing 2018-2022 published scientific papers. We perform science mapping by using the VOSviewer software to identify networks between keywords and authors. Our results reveal that strong links exist between keywords occurrence, authors' networks, but also between countries and institutions.
