Abstract
As a discipline, econometrics provides quantitative insights for many fields of economics, and as a result, many subfields
of econometrics have emerged over time. “Health Econometrics” is one of those subfields, which employs econometric
theory for the issues in health economics. The number of studies gathering econometrics and health economics, and
thereby health econometrics, increased over time, particularly during the 1990s. There is a substantial body of literature
in health economics that shares insights on published materials. However, the number of research that use bibliometric
analysis to study trends and the present state of health econometrics is limited. This research intends to investigate
published materials in health econometrics from a variety of perspectives.
To do this, data from publications with appropriate subject characteristicsin the EconLit database were collected between
January 1991 and December 2020. The primary methodologies in the study were bibliometric analysis and scientific
mapping. The overall findingsindicate that the number of publications has grown significantly over the previous 60 years,
with the highest contributing writers primarily based in American institutions. In other words, health econometrics is
gaining popularity among academics in the United Kingdom and the United States.
