Abstract: It is a distinct trend in the development of education economics (EE) that accurate quantitative analyses are replacing vague literal description. In this paper, we studied 1,600 papers which were published on Education and Economy from 1985 to 2008, and analysed the 5,773 keywords of those papers based on multi-statistics. And the visible knowledge domain is first used to show the development track of EE in China vividly.

Keywords: economy; knowledge mapping; knowledge domains; visible research; China; education economics; educational development.
