Keywords:
Carbon Trading, Carbon Emission Reduction, Carbon Policy, Bibliometric Analysis, Biblioshiny RAbstract
Purpose- The purpose of the study is to provide a comprehensive analysis on carbon trading, carbon emission reductions and carbon policy and to identify current developments, potential research areas and future directions. The focus is on the identification of annual growth of publications, country-wise distribution, publication pattern and intellectual structure of scientific production in this field.
Methodology-The authors have used Bibliometric approach to show the magnitude of research conducted in the area of carbon trading. The study emphasized on identification of the research hotspots based on the occurrence of indexed keywords, productive authors and journals for the period 2000-2023(Aggarwal & Karwasra, 2023).
Findings-China leads in the number of researches related to carbon trading and also dominates the list of top ten educational institutions contributing to researches in this domain. Zhang Y and Wang Y are the authors producing maximum articles with h-index of 17 and 11 respectively. Journal of Cleaner Production is on the first position in terms of publications as well as in terms of h index with very good number of citations followed by International Journal of Production Economics. Emission control, carbon, carbon emissions, carbon emission reductions are the most frequently used terms by the researchers in their articles.
Originality/Value- The study presents an updated review of research on carbon emissions, trading and related issues, emphasizing significant contributions and recent advances that have added new perspectives to the academic conversation about this crucial environmental and economic issue.
Limitations of the study-The data for the study has been retrieved from Scopus Database. Only Software R has been used for data analysis
