Thirty years of academic finance
研究了1992至2021年间金融学术期刊在规模、研究团队构成和文章主题上的演变，发现领域扩张、团队扩大、女性参与增加，多数期刊变得更综合，女性作者更关注公司金融的社会与治理方面。
Abstract We study how the financial literature has evolved in scale, research team composition, and article topicality across finance‐focused academic journals from 1992 to 2021. We document that the field has vastly expanded regarding outlets and published articles. Teams have become larger, and the proportion of women participating in research has increased significantly. Using the Structural Topic Model, we identify 45 topics discussed in the literature. We investigate the topic coverage of individual journals and can identify highly specialized and generalist outlets, but our analyses reveal that most journals have covered more topics over time, thus becoming more generalist. Finally, we find that articles with at least one woman author focus more on topics related to social and governance aspects of corporate finance. We also find that teams with at least one top‐tier institution scholar tend to focus more on theoretical aspects of finance.
