Systematic and Bibliometric Review of Neuroeconomics and Neurofinance Research: Current Status, Thematic Trends, and Future Directions

ABSTRACTThe aim of this study is to provide a systematic and bibliometric overview of neuroeconomics and neurofinance research. The study analyzes 507 articles published in peer‐reviewed journals in the Web of Science (WoS) database spanning from 1994 to February 2024. The research is conducted in two phases; initially, a performance analysis, followed by a science mapping analysis. Through performance analysis, we pinpoint significant authors, notable journals, leading countries, and influential articles within these research fields. With the science mapping, we utilize co‐citation, bibliographic coupling, and co‐word analyses to uncover the thematic and intellectual framework of research in neuroeconomics and neurofinance. Overall, we reveal prominent research themes, including reward, decision‐making under risk, value, game theory, and intertemporal choices. Classical decision‐making theory divides the decision‐making process into three interconnected stages: identifying options, evaluating them, and making a choice. The research themes we revealed through science mapping analysis constitute different aspects of the evaluation stage. Accordingly, our results suggest that neuroeconomics and neurofinance research has mainly concentrated on the evaluation stage (and, to a lesser extent, the choice stage with value theme), while the process of identifying options has been relatively understudied, despite its vital significance in less structured, real‐world situations. Alongside revealing research themes, we ultimately spotlight research directions within neuroeconomics and neurofinance.

A Framework for Demonstrating, Forecasting, and Explaining Topic Evolution by Analyzing Geometrical Motion of Topic Embeddings

Abstract Topic analysis aims to study topic evolution and trends in order to help researchers understand the process of knowledge evolution and creation. This paper develops a novel topic evolution analysis framework, which we use to demonstrate, forecast, and explain topic evolution from the perspective of the geometrical motion of topic embeddings generated by pretrained language models. Our dataset comprises approximately 15 million papers in the computer science field, with 7,000 “fields of study” to represent the topics. First, we demonstrated that over 80% of topics had undergone obvious motion in the semantic vector space, based on the hyperplane and its normal vector generated by a support vector machine. Subsequently, we verified the predictability of the motion based on three vector regression models by predicting topic embeddings. Finally, we employed a decoder to explain the predicted motion, whose forecast embeddings can capture about 50% of unseen topics. Our research framework shows that topic evolution can be analyzed via the geometrical motion of topic embeddings, and the semantic motion of old topics nurtures new topics. The current study opens new research pathways in topic analysis and sheds light on the topic evolution mechanism from a novel geometric perspective.
