Abstract

This study provides a bibliometric analysis of financial risk tolerance research papers. This study addressed bibliometric analysis using information from Scopus. The study in this work is exploratory and descriptive, based on bibliometric methodologies and tools used to documents contained in the Scopus bibliographic database, which yielded a total of 1084 documents spanning the years 1979 to 2025. This study report made use of Biblioshiny, an open-source platform based on the R programming language, as well as VOS viewer, in order to carry out a variety of bibliometric studies and assessments. The topic of financial risk tolerance was examined using the bibliographic data, which provided a complete description of the subject matter. According to the findings of the analysis, the most significant areas of focus for research on risk tolerance over the past several years have been on financial literacy, personality factors, and financial decision making. Over the past two decades, there has been an upward trend in the amount of research done on the FRT.
