Blockchain technology has become an ubiquitous phenomenon. While the topic originated in computer science, the business and economics literature was comparatively slow to pick up on it. To better understand the academic basis, current developments and future research avenues of the discourse, 9672 cited references of 467 blockchain and cryptocurrency articles from the fields of business and economics are gathered from the Web of Science Core Collection and are analyzed. Five major strands of research are identified through factor analysis. They are reviewed and their interrelation is mapped using social network analysis. Research on (I) market efficiency and economics and (II) asset pricing and valuation is relatively mature and focuses on cryptocurrencies, while research on (III) the principles and applications of blockchain technology, (IV) transactions and anonymity and (V) monetary theory and policy lacks maturity. Potential paths for future research are pointed out and in conclusion, it is assessed that this young field of research still leaves plenty of room for manoeuvre. A scientific place next to Nakamoto (2008) is still available for existing, emerging and new research streams.

中本聪旁边的地方:商业和经济学中区块链和加密货币研究的基础

区块链技术已经成为一种无处不在的现象。虽然该主题起源于计算机科学,但商业和经济学文献对它的了解相对较慢。为了更好地理解该论述的学术基础、当前发展和未来研究途径,从 Web of Science 核心合集中收集了 467 篇商业和经济领域的区块链和加密货币文章的 9672 篇引用参考文献并进行了分析。通过因子分析确定了五个主要研究方向。他们被审查并使用社交网络分析映射他们的相互关系。(一)市场效率与经济学和(二)资产​​定价与估值的研究相对成熟,以加密货币为主,而(三)区块链技术原理与应用研究,(IV) 交易和匿名; (V) 货币理论和政策不成熟。指出了未来研究的潜在路径,总而言之,据评估,这个年轻的研究领域仍有很大的回旋余地。Nakamoto (2008) 旁边的一个科学场所仍然可用于现有的、新兴的和新的研究流。
