内容简介:

Fintech is reshaping financial markets dramatically. Using livestream data from Alipay and sampled account-level transaction data, we investigate the impact of financial livestreams on investors’ mutual fund trading behavior. Funds promoted through financial livestreams see significant increases in subscription amounts, subscription counts, and holdings. A positive correlation exists between financial livestream conversion rates and recommended fund subscriptions. Heterogeneity analysis reveal that the impact of financial livestreams on fund subscriptions is most prominent in bond funds and index funds, as well as funds with higher fund performance. Exploring the mechanisms further, we find that longer explanation times for individual funds during financial livestreams correlate with higher fund subscription volumes, indicating a significant information effect. Additionally, financial livestreams encourage investors with high risk tolerance to increase subscriptions to high-risk funds, facilitating risk matching between investors and fund products. Regarding advertising effects, there is no spillover effect for the fund in the same family. This paper extends the application of digital media in the financial market from the perspective of financial livestream.
