The precedence of behavior bias-based studies with respect to investment is quite prevalent. Hence, a bibliometric analysis of available literature may lead to fresh topics in association with overconfidence bias.

After screening, 1327 publications related to overconfidence, 728 documents were identified. Martin Weber emerged as the most cited author. SSRN electronic journal, qualitative research in financial matters and review of behavioral finance have published most cited papers in the field of overconfidence and investment decision. The United States have published highest number of papers and citations, while Germany, India and China have also emerged as nations with highest citations. The United States of America has published highest number of papers with citations. Germany, India and China have also emerged as nations with highly citated papers.

Studies with risk tolerance, after pandemic impact, experience and financial/tax literacy, loss aversion and availability bias-based studies may be considered by researchers in accordance to overconfidence.Downloads
