Bibliometric Analysis of the Climate-work Econometric Literature : What Are the Topics Most Dealt With in the Literature?

Abstract

The main focus of this research is to understand which aspects are most taken into consideration in the climate-work econometric literature and which aspects are neglected. A bibliometric analysis was carried out with the VOSviewer software. First of all, a Scopus string was identified, it is suitable for enclosing all the results that deal with the topic. Second we did a review of the literature, subsequently the necessary information was uploaded to the software. In order to see which are the most cited articles and the relevant topics, an analysis of citations and terms was carried out. The results of the analysis show that the most cited article in the literature is that of Dell M. et al. (2014). By terms analysis four clusters was identified, they represent four main topics in climate-work econometric literature: adaptation, migration, economic effects and the effects of weather changes. The two main terms between the words in the clusters are Climate change and income. They represent the principal themes of the research and they are very connected with all clusters. Instead, the term labor market is repeated less times and has fewer connections with other words. The results were also confirmed by the robustness check. Based on these results, the topics most and least dealt with in the climate-work econometric literature have been identified.
