Journal of Economic Surveys, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 29, 2025

ABSTRACT The green bond market and related scholarly research have grown exponentially recently. However, the literature remains scattered. This study addresses gap by analyzing 744 Scopus‐indexed journal articles using a mix of bibliometric content analyses to unveil trends, current dynamics, knowledge structures. analysis shows dynamic transformation differential development among clusters. It indicates following three prominent themes: (a) reducing carbon emissions, (b) premium financing, (c) connectedness portfolio risk effects. From policymakers' perspective, reveals positive linkages channels between bonds environment. Pertinent issuers investors, estimates premiums vary time, context, methodology. Future should focus on causality, regional variations, role policy design in impact finance. Researchers must further investigate motives investors issuers.
