“…Hébert (2021) commented on Mariotti's work, pointing out that his research on the economics-engineering nexus is both insightful and promising, but there were also tricky problems to be solved. Mariotti (2022a) continues the debate with a further response and argues that economics and engineering are gradually coming to "a fruitful knowledge collaboration". Moreover, given that the intertwining of the two fields has entered a phase of diminishing returns, Mariotti (2022b) urged "the establishment of a new 'pluralistic alliance' between the different semi-autonomous branches of the two disciplines" to respond more effectively to increasingly complex realities.…”

Engineering economics is a cross subject with a wide range of applications, and it has taken on different characteristics with the changing times. The aim of this paper is to depict a sufficiently elaborate and vivid knowledge map of this field, with further discussion and outlook on the hotspots presented therein. Based on the principles and methods of bibliometrics, we use several visualization tools, mainly Vosviewer, to present the characteristics of the published literature within the field of engineering economics from multiple perspectives. Specifically, we collect 624 engineering economics documents published in the Web of Science core collection database between 1915 and 2021, and quantitatively analyze them in the following three aspects: (1) basic data characteristics, including annual publications, annual citations, research directions, and highly cited publications; (2) outstanding performers and cooperations in the four levels of country/region, institution, source and author, including co-authorship, bibliographic coupling, co-citation and co-occurrence analyses; and (3) keyword analyses, including co-occurrence analyses, burst detection analyses, and high-frequency word clouds. In addition, we further explore important topics within the field represented by intelligent and green transformation.

“…Boulding (1970) classifies the larger scientific background of economics into economics as a social science, ecological science, behavioral science, political science, mathematical science, and moral science.6 We refer the interested reader towardsMariotti (2021Mariotti ( , 2022 for an extended discussion on the epistemological convergences and divergences between economics and engineering and the role of AI in pushing the two disciplines to bridge the gulf between them.7 For further discussion, seeDuarte and Giraud (2020) andMariotti (2021) on the history of the economics-engineering nexus. In particular, economics for engineering (i.e., the use/adaptation of economic tools of analysis for the betterment of engineering), economics as engineering (i.e., the economists' adoption of engineering epistemiology for market design and problem solving), and economics and engineering (i.e., the symbiosis of economics and engineering fields in the context of cross-fertilisation and interdisciplinary collaborations).…”

The history of AI in economics is long and winding, much the same as the evolving field of AI itself. Economists have engaged with AI since its beginnings, albeit in varying degrees and with changing focus across time and places. In this study, we have explored the diffusion of AI and different AI methods (e.g., machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, expert systems, knowledge-based systems) through and within economic subfields, taking a scientometrics approach. In particular, we centre our accompanying discussion of AI in economics around the problems of economic calculation and social planning as proposed by Hayek. To map the history of AI within and between economic sub-fields, we construct two datasets containing bibliometrics information of economics papers based on search query results from the Scopus database and the EconPapers (and IDEAs/RePEc) repository. We present descriptive results that map the use and discussion of AI in economics over time, place, and subfield. In doing so, we also characterise the authors and affiliations of those engaging with AI in economics. Additionally, we find positive correlations between quality of institutional affiliation and engagement with or focus on AI in economics and negative correlations between the Human Development Index and share of learning-based AI papers.
