Abstract: We assess the impacts of ownership structures on China’s P2P lending platforms. We classify data into private and non-private groups, and we use the information such as turnovers and net inflows to capture firm performance. The findings suggest that investors prefer non-private to private P2P platforms before and after related financial regulations. Private platforms thus increase their interest rates to attract borrowers, which surges systematic risks. Such results are especially dominant for P2P platforms in non-BSGS cities, indicating the difficultly private platforms compete against financial regulations.
