Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, yeşil finansta, finansal teknoloji (fintek) ve blockchain yatırımlarını ve araştırma eğilimlerini analiz ederek projeksiyon oluşturmaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, Scopus veri tabanında 2019-2024 yılları arasında yer alan 634 yayın bibliyometrik analiz yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Elde edilen veriler, VOSviewer programında haritalandırılmıştır. Çalışmada, yayınların türlerine, alanlarına, yıllarına, kaynağına, en çok katkı sağlayan yazar, kurum, ülke ve coğrafik bölgelerine göre dağılımları tasnif edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda, yeşil finansta fintek ve blockchain yatırımlarına ilişkin yapılan yayınların ve atıf sayılarının 2023 yılından itibaren ivme kazandığı, çalışmaların daha çok makale türü olarak ekonomi, işletme ve finans alanlarında yayımlandığı tespit edilmiştir. Yeşil finans kapsamında fintek ve blockchain yatırımlarına ilişkin en fazla yayına sahip dergilerin çevre politikaları, sürdürülebilirlik, finansal analiz ve inovasyon gibi konuları kapsadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bununla birlikte alanda en fazla yayın yapan ülkeler arasında Çin, Hindistan ve Pakistan olduğu saptanmış, Türkiye’nin de alana en çok katkı sağlayan ilk 10 ülke arasında yer aldığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Yeşil finans alanında blockchain ve fintek yatırımlarına yönelik gelecek çalışmaların yoğunlaşacağı öngörülmekte olup çalışmanın, alana yönelik mevcut durum ve eğilimleri ortaya koymak açısından önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir.
