 Investment in gold: A bibliometric review and agenda for future researchDebidutta Pattnaik, M. Kabir Hassan, Arun DSouza and Ali Ashraf Research in International Business and Finance, 2023, vol. 64, issue C Abstract: Significant surge in gold prices has attracted speculators, investors and intellectuals alike. Factors driving gold prices, the effectiveness of gold price predictions, the economic viability of gold mining, risk management using gold, and its comparisons against exchange rates and stock prices have been some of the consistent foci of researchers. Applying bibliometrics on 453 top articles published on gold between 1970 and 2021, we present a comprehensive overview of the academic discussions on one of the fast evolving research domains. Apart from identifying the publication and citation trends, we note seven intellectual clusters contributing to growth of the contemporary research identified as: dynamics of gold prices and its linkage with other asset prices, gold prices: forecasting and comparison, gold as an instrument for an inflation hedge, gold and currency market, economic policy and gold prices, role of gold in the global financial market, and expected value and volatility of gold.
