Abstract：
With growing demands of decision making in the current era, the impact of the drivers behind individuals\' preferences and institutional strategies becomes prominent. Coined in 2008, nudge is used to describe incentives for individuals\' choices with foreseeable outcomes but without exclusion of alternative choices or reliance on financial stimuli. Consequently, nudge and its application in real-world situations led to a prosperous surge of studies in multiple disciplines. However, we are still facing a dearth of in-depth understanding of the status quo and future directions of research on nudge in a comprehensive fashion. To address the gap in knowledge, the present study adopted a bibliometric analysis of the existing literature related to the investigation and application of nudge by analyzing 1706 publications retrieved from Web of Science. The results indicated that (a) being a relatively newly developed theory, interest in nudge in academia has expanded both in volume and disciplines, with Western scholars and behavioral economists as the backbones; (b) future studies in nudge-related fields are expected to consolidate its current frontiers in individual behaviors while shedding light on new territories such as the digitalized environment. By incorporating state-of-the-art technologies to investigate extant research, the present study would be pivotal for the holistic understanding of the studies on nudge in recent years. Nevertheless, the inclusiveness and comprehensiveness of the review were limited by the size of the selected literature.
摘要：
随着当今时代决策需求的增长，个人偏好和制度策略背后的驱动因素的影响变得突出。创造于2008年，用来描述具有可预见结果但不排除替代选择或依赖财务刺激的个人选择的激励措施。因此,轻推及其在现实世界中的应用导致了多学科研究的繁荣。然而,我们仍然缺乏对全面推进研究现状和未来方向的深入了解。为了解决知识上的差距，本研究通过分析从WebofScience检索的1706种出版物，对与微推的调查和应用相关的现有文献进行了文献计量分析。结果表明，(A)是一个相对较新发展的理论，学术界对微推的兴趣在数量和学科上都有所扩大，以西方学者和行为经济学家为骨干；（b）与微推相关领域的未来研究有望巩固其当前在个人行为方面的前沿，同时阐明数字化环境等新领域。通过结合最先进的技术来调查现有的研究，本研究对于全面理解近年来的微推研究至关重要。然而，综述的包容性和全面性受到所选文献规模的限制。
