  • Financial Innovation and the Inequality Gap

    Financial Innovation and the Inequality Gap

    Financial Innovation and the Inequality Gap Roxana Mihet ∗ Latest version here November 26, 2020 Abstract Information-based models of capital income inequality that link return hetero- geneity to investor sophistication levels need to assume an increase in data costs over time to generate widening inequality. Empirically, this assumption contra- dicts evidence that investment markets have become more informative over time, and theoretically, it also overlooks the possibility that poorer investors can avoid paying a large fixed cost for research, simply by buying shares in a fund. In this paper, I study the impact of financial innovation on capital income inequality in a theoretical framework where investors, heterogeneous in their sophistication, have a costly choice between not investing, investing through a fund of average quality, and searching for an informed fund. The model predicts that while financial inno- vation can make the investment sector more efficient and boost financial inclusion, some financial innovation also brings risks. For example, when the cost of financial data processing falls, more investors trade on information. This makes participa- tion less valuable for the uninformed marginal stock market participant, who is a poorer investor in some average fund and who exits the market altogether, fore- going the equity premium. The decrease in the participation of relatively poorer investors amplifies inequality. Empirically, this negative force has been very strong in the last 20 years and it can explain why, in spite of a dramatic reduction in data processing costs and fund fees, the US stock market has become less inclusive and more unequal and the participation rate has declined.

    Financial Innovation in the 21st Century: Evidence from U.S. Patenting1 Josh Lerner Amit Seru Nicholas Short Yuan Sun August 7, 2020 Patents provide a window into the evolution of financial innovation over the past two decades. We first highlight the growth and importance of these awards in the 21st century. The dramatic surge in financial patenting has been driven largely by information technology and other non-financial firms, while banks and other financial institutions have narrowed the scope of their innovations. These shifts have been an accompanied by a decline in the links between patent awards and academic knowledge, and shifts in the geographic location of innovation, especially within incumbent firms. 1 [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected].

    Remarks Before the Fintech and the Future of Finance Conference, April

    Remarks By Thomas J. Curry Comptroller of the Currency At Fintech and the Future of Finance Conference Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University April 28, 2017 Evanston, Illinois Thank you for that introduction. It’s a pleasure to be in the Chicago area again to discuss financial innovation and, more specifically, the convergence of emerging financial technology and traditional financial services. It’s an exciting time to be in banking. All over the United States, and around the world, bankers and other entrepreneurs are figuring out how to adapt their businesses to the changes taking place in the financial services industry. Some banks are creating their own versions of financial technology innovations, while others are expanding their collaborative relationships with—or simply acquiring—companies that offer new technology or services that complement the banks’ existing business plans. In my short time with you today, I would like to share my perspective on where financial innovation is today, the potential I see for fintech to improve the lives of ordinary Americans and improve businesses’ bottom lines, and what the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is doing to encourage responsible innovation within the federal banking system. 1 First, I’d like to tell you a bit about the agency I’ve been privileged to lead for the last five years as Comptroller of the Currency. Financial professionals understand the agency’s role in administering the federal banking system, chartering and supervising national banks and federal savings associations, and, when necessary, taking enforcement actions against institutions and individuals for failures in compliance or safety and soundness.

  • The Case for an Innovation Hub to Facilitate Measa

    The Case for an Innovation Hub to Facilitate Measa

    THE CASE FOR AN INNOVATION HUB TO FACILITATE MEASA FINANCIAL INCLUSION Almost half of the world’s 1.7 billion financially excluded and underserved adults are currently concentrated in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA). To date, efforts to address MEASA’s financial inclusion position have been heavily fragmented, impeding large-scale advancement. Given the size of the untapped market, and the urgent need for reforms, we call for the establishment of a regional innovation hub dedicated to the development of digital financial services. Given its unique profile, Dubai is ideally positioned to serve as the beating heart of such a hub. NEW GLOBAL MOMENTUM FOR (DIGITAL) FINANCIAL INCLUSION The push for advancement of financial inclusion has seen renewed global momentum. With 1.7 billion of the world’s global working population still lacking access to formal financial services, world leaders have committed themselves to ambitious targets for the acceleration of financial inclusion. G20 nations, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and other multilateral organisations are actively pushing a bold agenda and co-ordinating efforts via global alliances and working groups. Additionally, the United Nations has declared financial inclusion a core enabler for the achievement of its Sustainable Development Goals. These efforts have been underpinned by an unprecedented flow of funding directed towards financial inclusion initiatives. The Consultative Group to Assist the Poor (CGAP) estimates that no less than US$37 billion in funds was received in 2016 from public and private sources. Thanks to an ever-expanding adoption of smartphones, and the rapid evolution of new technologies, digitally enabled financial services have emerged as critical catalysts in the achievement of broad-scale financial inclusion.
