Although the literature on unemployment hysteresis is extensive, no comprehensive bibliometric analysis focusing on this field has been identified. This study aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the knowledge accumulated in the unemployment hysteresis literature between 1890 and February 2025. The study employs bibliometric analysis methods, including performance analysis and science mapping techniques. Findings based on 383 documents indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) database reveal a growing body of literature in the field of unemployment hysteresis. Notably, there has been a significant increase in publications since 2006. The number of articles peaked between 2014 and 2018, following the global financial crises and the European debt crisis. Furthermore, it has been determined that the issue of unemployment hysteresis is addressed with similar theoretical frameworks across different geographical regions. When examining the countries with the highest research intensity, developed countries predominantly stand out. The keyword "hysteresis" is frequently associated with "persistence," "time-series," and "unit-root tests," while the keyword "unemployment" is often linked to macroeconomic variables. In conclusion, this study systematically presents the evolution and research trends of the unemployment hysteresis literature through bibliometric analysis methods. The findings offer valuable insights to guide future research in this field.}, number={4}, publisher={Gaziantep Üniversitesi}
