Abstract

This study investigates the effects of technology-finance integration on firm entry across industries in China. Based on a comprehensive dataset from the State Administration for Industry and Commerce covering 2002–2020, we construct a quasi-natural experiment design using the 2011 FinTech pilot policy. On average, the policy impedes new firm entry by raising market barriers and increasing competition. However, a nuanced industry-specific effect is observed, with the policy promoting entry in strategic emerging, technology-intensive, and high-tech sectors, while deterring entry in others. These findings help understand how technological innovation and financial policies interact to shape industrial dynamics and entrepreneurial activity.
