We also document the impact is mainly driven by services liberalization in sectors of business and telecommunication and more prominent in sectors characterized by low labor cost, low labor productivity, and low technology levels and in developing countries located in the European production network. Moreover, we show that services liberalization has no discernible impact on specialization in R&amp;D within developing countries.

In particular, the deposit draining or direct funds diversion of FinTech platforms may reduce bank loan supply to traditionally advantageous borrowers like exporters in the banking credit market. We investigate this potential threat by examining the impacts of FinTech emergence in China on its firm exports. We first construct a simple theoretical model, which shows that when FinTech emergence reduces bank loan supply, it will depress the exports of financially constrained firms, especially those heavily reliant on bank financing. Empirically, we find that the FinTech emergence in China was associated with reduced Chinese firm exports, particularly for firms with severe financial constraints, heavy reliance on bank loans and greater liquidity needs, but may be beneficial by providing alternative funding sources for sectors with greater financial vulnerability. The paper suggests that while FinTech challenges traditional bank loan supply and harms the advantageous borrowers in the bank credit market, it compensates those less reached by the banking sector, exhibiting characteristics of inclusive finance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48285,"journal":{"name":"中国经济评论","volume":"91 ","pages":"Article 102392"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143724409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further analysis reveals that banks with higher risk profiles or weaker risk resilience exhibit larger reductions in LLPs in response to monetary policy shocks. Additionally, stricter macroprudential policies and higher regulatory quality encourage banks to maintain higher levels of LLPs. We also find that during periods of credit contraction, banks are less likely to reduce LLPs to bolster future earnings, as doing so poses greater risks.

Therefore, the consumption of households with low disposable income levels appears to be more adversely affected by uncertainty shocks relative to those with high disposable income.
