The impact of financial technology on corporate total factor productivity: from the perspectives of competitive strategy and corporate innovation capability
This study examines the impact of FinTech development on Chinese corporate total factor productivity (TFP) using a logical framework of " FinTech development-competitive strategy and corporate innovation-corporate TFP". Analyzing data from Chinese A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen (2011–2021) through web crawler text analysis and employing fixed effect and mediating effect models, we find that FinTech effectively enhances TFP by promoting differentiation strategy. Despite inhibiting cost leadership due to an adaptation dilemma, FinTech still contributes positively to overall TFP. FinTech development also correlates with increased innovation, further elevating corporate TFP. Extending the analysis to consider corporate nature, geographical location, and policy implementation reveals nuanced impacts, with non-state-owned corporations and central region corporate experiencing more significant TFP benefits from FinTech. Robustness checks using GMM, instrumental variable, LLM and Hausman-Taylor estimation validate these findings.
期刊介绍:
Technology in Society is a global journal dedicated to fostering discourse at the crossroads of technological change and the social, economic, business, and philosophical transformation of our world. The journal aims to provide scholarly contributions that empower decision-makers to thoughtfully and intentionally navigate the decisions shaping this dynamic landscape. A common thread across these fields is the role of technology in society, influencing economic, political, and cultural dynamics. Scholarly work in Technology in Society delves into the social forces shaping technological decisions and the societal choices regarding technology use. This encompasses scholarly and theoretical approaches (history and philosophy of science and technology, technology forecasting, economic growth, and policy, ethics), applied approaches (business innovation, technology management, legal and engineering), and developmental perspectives (technology transfer, technology assessment, and economic development). Detailed information about the journal's aims and scope on specific topics can be found in Technology in Society Briefings, accessible via our Special Issues and Article Collections.
