ABSTRACT
The China free trade zone,
crucial for advancing a new open economy, has gained significant attention
lately. We analyzed 885 papers from Peking University Core and CSSCI journals
(2012-2023) using CiteSpace for visualization. Our research results indicate
that the literature on China’s free trade zone peaked with 171 articles in
2015, and gradually returned to an average of 45 articles per year. The main
research focuses in this field include “institutional innovation”, “negative list”, “financial innovation”, “financial
openness”, “opening up to the outside world”, and “economic growth”. In
addition, cutting-edge analysis indicates that “dual circulation” and “blockchain”
are future research trends. The main authors of the literature include Yang
Bin, Zhu Xiaolin, Yuan Bo, Li Meng, Zhao Liang, and others. Their affiliated
institutions, research institutes, and universities have not yet formed a clear
core circle of authors; The top three research institutions with the highest
number of publications are the International Trade and Economic Cooperation
Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, Kaiyuan Law School of Shanghai
Jiao Tong University, and the Comprehensive Research Institute of the Free
Trade Zone of Sun Yatsen University. This article delves into the current hot
topics and progress in the research of China’s free trade zones, providing
important references and inspirations for future scholars in this field.
