Abstract

Interest in the use behavioral insights to study public administration has been gaining momentum in recent years. While the literature on behavioral finance and behavioral public finance offers a useful reference point, incorporating behavioral approaches to the study of public financial administration remains pending. This article uses a bibliometric approach to provide readers with “a bird’s eye view” of co-authorship networks and topics driving public finance discussions in public administration and public policy journals. The gaps that are made evident with the analysis represent an area of opportunity for the development of what we refer to as behavioral public financial administration.
