The Comparative Analysis Of Coase And Williamson Based On Bibliometrics

The Nobel Economics Prize is the highest award in the field of economics, which is also the sign of the academic influence and status of winner be recognized by the mainstream economists. Winning reasons only macroscopic instruction the fact, while unable to quantify and fully convincing. Coase and Williamson are both of Nobel Prize winners within related in the area of research, but there are some different in the background of research and award-winning years. Based on analysis of the theory of Bibliometrics, combined with the mapping knowledge domains which book a place in the frontier of academic today, select the simple and practical parameters to measure the extent of the award winners' academic influence, and find their scientific community,and inquire into the course of development research. From the analysis of the scientific literature to explain the reasons associated with the award, and find some similarities and differences between their respective academic development, expect to throw a sprat to catch a whale in the future of work about assessment and forecasting.Citespace software is used as an information visualization tool of mapping the scientific domains. Document Co-citation Analysis, Author Co-citation Analysis is selected in the research. Combining scientific discovery principles and graph theory, key notes with structure characters and cited frequency are provided to explain the relevant information of the network. A direction is from the papers, to find their development of the core theory; another one is from the reasons of winning, to determine the academic states.It obtains the information visualization map and conclusions by the comparison of two methods. A few number of Coase's and Williamson's papers were published, but the core of their papers has a high cited frequency which directly affect the award. From papers'published time point of view, the relevant winning literature has a clear lag characteristic. Although they are in the similar research field, the factors of winning are different. They also perform differently form the size of diffusion in the academic influence.
