主题演讲
The Effects of News Media Type and
News (Re)distribution on Information Efficiency
of the Financial Market
Professor Bin Gu
Everett W. Lord Distinguished Faculty Scholar,Professor and Department Chair of Information Systems at the Questrom School of Business,Boston University
In this paper, we investigate the differential effect of traditional news media and online-only news media on firm-specific information diffusion in the financial market. We distinguish original news distribution from news redistribution in our analysis. Using news and stock data from the Chinese stock market, we find that original news distribution on both traditional news media and online-only news media has a significant and positive impact on information efficiency of the stock market. The positive effect is stronger for online-only news media. We also find that news redistribution on both types of news media is not conducive to information efficiency of the stock market. The negative effect is stronger for online-only news media. Further, we find that selectivity in news redistribution can mitigate the negative impact of redistribution. The effect is stronger for online-only news media. Our finding suggests that original news creation and distribution by online-only news media shall be encouraged while caution and selectivity need to be exercised in news redistribution.
Investing in Lending Technology:
IT Spending in Banking
Professor Zhiguo He
Fuji Bank and Heller Professor of Financeand Jeuck Faculty Fellow,Booth School of Business, University of Chicago
This paper studies the economics behind the investment in information technologies (IT) by U.S. commercial banks in the past decade. By linking banks\' IT spending to their lending technologies, we analyze the distinctive natures of banks\' dealings with information across various lending activities. Investment in communication IT is shown to be associated more with improving banks\' ability of soft information production and transmission, while investment in software IT helps enhance banks\' hard information processing capacity. We exploit polices that affect geographic regions differentially to show causally that banks respond to an increased demand for small business credit (mortgage refinance) by increasing their spending on communication (software) IT spending. We also find that the entry of fintech induces commercial banks to increase their investment in IT -- more so in the software IT category.
Media Sentiments,
Investor Behaviors
and Stock Price Plunges
Professor Fan Wang
Assistant President of
Sun Yat-sen University
In order to explore the impact of negative media reports of listed companies oninvestor behaviors and stock prices, we use natural language processing method to classify risks in negative media reports into five categories and construct a comprehensive negative media sentiment index. We find that negative media reports contain objective negative information and subjective sentiment. Negative information can cause stock prices to decline in the short term but cannot predict them in the long term, which is consistent with theories of media content as a proxy for new information about fundamental asset values. Moreover, repeated media reports will arouse investors\' strong attention and high pessimism, which will cause investors to overreact and cause stock prices to crash.
Revealed Wisdom of the Crowd:
Predictive Value of Bids
Professor D. J. Wu
Ernest Scheller Jr. Chair in Innovation,Entrepreneurship and Commercialization, Professor of IT Management, Scheller College of Business, Georgia Institute ofTechnology
Despite the popularity of the phrase "wisdom of the crowd," not all crowds are wise because not everyone in a crowd acts in an informed, rational manner. Identifying informative actions, therefore, can help to isolate the truly "wise" part of a crowd. Motivated by this idea, we evaluate the informational value of investors\' bids using data from online, debt-based crowdfunding, where we were able to track not only investment decisions, but also the ultimate repayment status, for specific loans. We propose several easily-scalable variables based on the heterogeneity of investors\' bids interms of their size and timing. We first show that loans funded with large bids (compared to the typical bid amount in the market, or relative to an individual investor\'s historical baseline), especially those receiving large bids early in the bidding process, are less likely to default. More importantly, incorporating these variables improves the predictive performance of state-of-the-art models that have been proposed for this context. Even during the fundraising process, these variables improve the predictive performance of funding likelihood and loan quality. We discuss the implications of these variables, including loan pricing in secondary markets, crowd wisdom under different market mechanisms, and financial inclusion. Platforms can easily implement these variables to improve market efficiency without compromising investor privacy.
The Big Tech Lending Model
Professor Wei Xiong
Trumbull-Adams Professor of Finance and Professor of Economics, Princeton University;Academic Dean of School of Management and Economics, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen
By comparing uncollateralized business loans made by a big tech lending program with conventional bank loans, we find that big tech loans tend to be smaller and have higher interest rates and that borrowers of big tech loans tend to repay far before maturity and borrow more frequently. These patterns remain forborrowers with access to bank credit. Our findings highlight the big tech lender\'s roles in serving borrowers\' short-term liquidity rather than their long-term financing needs. Through this model, big tech lending facilitates credit to borrowers underserved by banks without experiencing more-severe adverse selection or incurring greater risks than banks (even during the COVID-19 crisis).

Security Token Offering (STO) asSubstitute or Prelude of IPO:Opportunities and Challenges

Security Token Offering (STO) is a new financial approach for companies to acquire funding for product and service innovation. STO is different from ICO because the former requires asset backup while the latter does not, thus STO is fundamentally different from ICO in terms of financial valuation and risks. STO has been viewed by many as the digital version of IPO since both IPO and STO are identical in their objective and effect. Most recently, a Chinese company called Trucpal is going for STO with US$20,000,000.00 via INX, a Cryptocurrency Trading Platform & Digital Securities in the US. Trucpal is the first Chinese company to do STO in the US, signaling the birth of a new phase in digital finance and raising tons of questions for people to ponder with. In this panel, we will discuss the impacts, opportunities, and challenges for Chinese companies to explore with STO. Sample questions we will discuss include, but not limited to:
Could Chinese companies in the Greater Bay Area start thinking about doing STO in the US,HK, or Singapore, given that Trucpal is already doing it in the US?
What are potential theoretical and practical benefits and risks of taking STO instead of IPO as a new financial innovation?
How should Chinese companies interpret the Hong Kong regulations on STO? What might be the future opportunities of doing STO in Hong Kong?

Connecting buyers and sellers with financial institutions, supply chain finance (SCF) plays an important role in local and cross-border trading. SCF covers a wide spectrum of services which include payment and collection, risk mitigation, trade finance, verification of client identity (a.k.a., know-your-customer procedure), and cash management and projection. The advancement of blockchain technology facilitates industrial monitoring and information distribution. Financial assets such as equity, bonds, and fund shares, can be combined and stored in blockchain blocks; smart contracts can automate transactions and enable pre-shipment SCF. In 2020, blockchain in SCF market size was valued at USD 245.41 million, which is expected to reach USD 6,853 million in 2028 with a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 51.62%. In this panel discussion, we shall explore the market of SCF and discuss opportunities and challenges posed by blockchain technology. Sample questions we shall discuss include, but are not limited to:
What is the outlook of SCF in the time of pandemic outbreak?
How do blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies facilitate SCF?
What are the prospects of blockchain in the global SCF market?
