Abstract: Abstract This study examines the evolution of economic resilience measurement through a bibliometric analysis of 112 articles published between 2008 and 2025 in the fields of economics, business, and management. A marked increase in research activity occurred after 2019, primarily influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, with China emerging as the leading contributor and Wuhan University as the top publishing institution. While journals like Cities and Socio-Economic Planning Sciences account for the largest share of publications, the most influential works are published in Economic Geography. Citation analysis highlights Martin and Sunley (Martin and Sunley Journal of Economic Geography 15:1–42, 2015) as the most cited work, and when adjusted for publication year, recent studies are also gaining notable traction. Thematic mapping shows that research is concentrated around core, well-developed topics, with a limited presence of niche or peripheral themes. Meanwhile, emerging or declining areas such as smart cities and principal component analysis appear underdeveloped. These findings offer a comprehensive overview of the field's structure, highlight key contributors, and suggest areas for future inquiry.
