Abstract

From Cournot, Walras, and Pareto's research to what followed in the form of marginalist economics, chaos theory, agent-based modeling, game theory, and econophysics, the interpretation and analysis of economic systems have been carried out using a broad range of higher mathematics methods. The evolution of mathematical economics is associated with the most productive and influential authors, sources, and countries, as well as the identification of interactions between the authors and research topics. Bibliometric analysis provides journal-, author-, document-, and country-level metrics. In the present study, a bibliometric overview of mathematical economics came from a screening performed in September 2023, covering the timespan 1898–2023. About 6477 documents on mathematical economics were retrieved and extracted from the Scopus academic database for analysis. The Bibliometrix package in the statistical programming language R was employed to perform a bibliometric analysis of scientific literature and citation data indexed in the Scopus database. VOSviewer (version 1.6.19) was used for the visualization of similarities using several bibliometric techniques, including bibliographic coupling, co-citation, and co-occurrence of keywords. The analysis traced the most influential papers, keywords, countries, and journals among high-quality studies in mathematical economics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
