doi: 10.1111/joes.12262 BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS AND BEHAVIORAL FINANCE: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE SCIENTIFIC FIELDS Daniel Fonseca Costa Federal Institute of Minas Gerais Francisval de Melo Carvalho Federal University of Lavras Bruno C´ esar de Melo Moreira Federal Institute of Minas Gerais Abstract. The aim of the study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the scientiﬁc ﬁeld of Behavioral Economics and Behavioral Finance. The research was conducted using the Web of Science database, which returned 2617 articles, revealing that the amount of research within these ﬁelds has grown over time. Furthermore, the results also prove the relevance of the works of Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky for the ﬁeld of Behavioral Economics and Finance, and Steven Hursh to Behavioral Economics. It is still possible to note that the ﬁeld of Behavioral Economics encompasses subjects that connect human behavior with demand, consumption and price, with investments and with managerial decisions, as well as with the role played by heuristics and cognitive biases in decision-making processes. In turn, the ﬁeld of Behavioral Finance is more focused on the study of errors of judgment and of decision-making characteristics in ﬁnancial investments. Additionally, it is inferred that the ﬁeld of Behavioral Economics is more wide-ranging than the ﬁeld of Behavioral Finance, as the latter is a byproduct of Behavioral Economics. Finally, a conclusion is then reached, demonstrating that the ﬁelds of Behavioral Economics and Finance have turned into an important ﬁeld of study. Keywords.

Introduction Human behavior in decision-making processes has been the subject of a wide array of studies whose goal, essentially, is to discern the inﬂuence of psychological, behavioral, and cognitive aspects in decision making. Within this standpoint, a theoretical scientiﬁc framework was born, outlined as Behavioral Economics, which, brieﬂy put, aims to incorporate psychological aspects into the economic and ﬁnancial decision-making processes, concatenating as well forecast models that would incorporate the subjectivity evidenced by individuals in real contexts. With such, the research conducted in Behavioral Economics Corresponding author contact email: daniel.costa@ifmg.edu.br.
