Content analysis of the financial literature over time in the world

The paper offers a conceptualization of the phenomena of financial illiteracy and its relationships with digital skills in a rapidly changing landscape driven by technology. It proposes a bibliometric analysis of the issue from the perspectives of individuals and households, entrepreneurs and firms and financial intermediaries and authorities. The aim of this chapter is to analyse the stream of the worldwide FL literature in order to shed a light on the conceptual structure of the research field, with an emphasis on its evolution over time and its future developments. We are interested in FL themes and in analytical perspectives from different disciplines, and consequently, our focus is more on thematic evolution and approaches than on authors’ productivity, authors’ influence, networks, research centres and journals.
