Does FinTech Credit boost Entrepreneurial Growth in China?

主讲人 Prof. Harald Hau 简介 <p>Based on unique data from automated credit lines to more than a million firms trading on Alibaba's e-commerce platform, we explore if FinTech credit from Ant Financial mitigates local credit supply frictions in China's segmented credit market. We use a discontinuity in the credit decision algorithm to document that a firm's credit approval and first-time online credit use boosts firm growth in terms of sales and transaction growth. Firm growth after FinTech credit access is larger in locations with credit supply frictions.</p>
