Abstract
Integration of technology and finance presents significant challenges for financial regulators, necessitating formulation of policies for mitigating financial security risks and related concerns. This study examines the impact of the Pilot Project of Regulation on Fintech Innovation (PPRFI) on financial regulation in China from 2013 to 2022. Findings demonstrate that PPRFI significantly strengthens financial regulation, with financial technology mediating the relationship between PPRFI and regulatory effectiveness. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that the policy's positive effects are more pronounced in provinces with lower levels of human capital and in the western regions of China.
