Abstract: This study conducts a comprehensive knowledge mapping and scientometric analysis of Behavioral Finance research from 1990 to December 2022. By retrieving 2056 articles from Web of Science and utilizing CiteSpace for visualization, we aim to understand intellectual structures, emerging trends, research hotspots, and future trajectories in BF. The findings reveal a substantial increase in research output, with the University of California and Harvard University emerging as the most prolific institutions. Seven main research areas, including BF, risk, prospect theory, and return, were identified. A network analysis of 742 authors demonstrates collaborative dynamics, particularly intensified during crises such as the Covid-19 pandemic and the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. The study's originality lies in its temporal and dynamic analysis, providing valuable insights through co-citation and co-occurrence network analyses.
