 What affects the risks of fintech lending enterprises?Na Sun, Yan Sun, Xiaojuan Shen and Shaorong Sun Applied Economics, 2024, vol. 56, issue 27, 3194-3211 Abstract: Five main risk factors of fintech lending enterprises are empirically analysed by using the duration analysis model. The main findings are: Technology does not cause a significant increase in enterprise risk, the main reason is that although technology brings new types of risk, namely, technical risk, but it eliminates the human errors and moral hazards in a certain extent. There is debate on the role of regulatory policy on corporate risk, ‘market failure theory’ and ‘regulatory failure theory’, the empirical results show that the institutionalization of regulatory is more conducive to reducing risk than the frequently issuing ‘new regulatory policies’. As for the debate about whether large or small enterprises carry greater risks, the empirical evidence shows that the failure risks of large enterprises are only 79% of the risks of small enterprise. Another important finding is that the risks of listed companies or venture capital-controlled enterprises are far less than that of private enterprises, which suggests that the institution is very important to reduce risk.
