Abstract
This study aims to analyze global research trends on carbon tax using bibliometric methods. A dataset of 500 international publications was collected and processed with VOSviewer to map keyword co-occurrence, citation networks, and thematic clusters. The results show that research on carbon tax has significantly increased over the past five years, with dominant topics including “carbon tax,” “carbon taxis,” “carbon emissions,” and “impact.” The bibliometric mapping identifies key authors, countries, and institutions contributing to the field, with research clusters focusing on economic implications, policy effectiveness, and sustainability transitions. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the academic landscape of carbon tax research and highlights potential directions for future studies, especially in developing countries.
