We utilize a comprehensive FinTech index, derived from Baidu search data, and analyze the innovation capacity of Chinese cities using a patent renewal model. This model accounts for the varying value of patents over time, providing a nuanced understanding of innovation dynamics. Our findings show that FinTech plays a significant role in urban innovation, primarily by integrating into financial markets. We find that FinTech enhances market efficiency, stimulates investment in innovative ventures, and promotes financial inclusivity, creating a favorable environment for technological and entrepreneurial growth in urban areas. The effects are more pronounced in cities with well-developed financial infrastructure, large populations, low reliance on natural resources, and robust coastal economies. Additionally, we emphasize the vital role of intellectual property protection in strengthening the link between FinTech and urban innovation. Furthermore, we highlight FinTech's contribution to green urban development and its support for the real economy. These findings underscore the crucial role of FinTech, as viewed through the lens of financial markets, in driving urban innovation. The results carry significant implications for policy and practice aimed at fostering innovation-driven urban economies in the digital age.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48074,"journal":{"name":"Pacific-Basin Finance Journal","volume":"91 ","pages":"Article 102750"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143725708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike traditional methods that treat high-frequency components as noise, EFO-DDPG learns to adjust the influence of different frequency components dynamically. Moreover, the algorithm embeds a mean–variance portfolio optimization problem within a deep learning network, enhancing interpretability compared to black-box approaches. The framework models the investment problem as a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP), using a state processing block with transformer encoders to capture complex relationships in the market data. By integrating spectral analysis, portfolio optimization theory, and online deep reinforcement learning, EFO-DDPG aims to adapt to non-stationary financial markets and generate superior investment strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48074,"journal":{"name":"Pacific-Basin Finance Journal","volume":"91 ","pages":"Article 102746"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143686636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
