Abstract

FinTechs have gained an important place in the financial sector with their dynamic and customer-oriented structures and innovative approaches and business models. In recent years, the competition between actors in the financial sector has intensified. In a rapidly developing sector, where competition is intense and challenging, efficiency is a very important performance indicator for fintechs. This study aims to measure and examine the efficiency performance of FinTech companies. Data Envelopment Analysis was used for efficiency measurement. By establishing a two-stage data envelopment analysis model, "profitability", "marketability" and "overall process" efficiencies of fintechs were measured and analyzed. Efficiency of FinTechs operating in eight different sub-sectors was measured for the period of 2010–2019. The results show that, fintechs’ profitability efficiency performances are higher than their marketability efficiency performances. Besides, efficiency performance of the fintech companies differs on the basis of sub-sectors. This paper is a pioneer study in efficiency measurement of FinTechs.

金融科技公司的效率衡量：两阶段 DEA 方法

金融科技公司凭借其充满活力、以客户为导向的结构，以及创新的方法和业务模式，在金融业占据了重要地位。近年来，金融行业参与者之间的竞争愈演愈烈。在这个快速发展、竞争激烈且充满挑战的行业中，效率是金融科技企业非常重要的绩效指标。本研究旨在衡量和考察金融科技公司的效率绩效。数据包络分析法（Data Envelopment Analysis）被用于效率衡量。通过建立两阶段数据包络分析模型，对金融科技公司的 "盈利能力"、"市场能力 "和 "整体流程 "效率进行了测量和分析。对 2010-2019 年期间在八个不同子行业运营的金融科技公司的效率进行了测量。结果显示，金融科技公司的盈利效率表现高于其市场效率表现。此外，金融科技公司的效率表现因细分行业而异。本文是金融科技公司效率衡量方面的一项开创性研究。
