    这篇文章通过LendingClub的数据来研究社会互动是否会影响P2P市场中的贷款行为。本文提出并验证了四层递进的假设:P2P市场中贷款行为受到社交连接紧密的地区的影响;社会连接更好的地区的贷款批准率更高;在获得批准的条件下,社会连接度高的地区贷款利率更低,风险等级更高;在其他条件不变的情况下,发放给社会连接度高的地区的借款人的贷款,在事后的表现要比发放给连接度不那么高的地区好。这种效应的渠道是信息传播减少了信息的不对称。
    同时个人认为本文在两个地方有待改进,一是数据的有效性有一定的问题.LendingClub的P2P机制是贷款人向LendingClub合作的银行申请贷款,银行放贷给贷款人,再将贷款以支付凭证的形式卖给LendingClub,LendingClub付完钱给银行后,再将支付凭证转让给投资人。它的P2P机制并非直接撮合贷款,并且LendingClub也将在今年年底停止营业。二是渠道机制可能有其他的原因。本文与RFS上的《Household Debt and Social Interactions》很像,也是研究社交网络对于个体贷款的影响。那篇文章的影响渠道是人们会模仿身边看似生活更好的人的行为。由于本文未能像其他研究社交网络的文章一样控制地区gdp,RFS的影响机制似乎也能解释本文的现象。
Abstract:We examine the effects of social connectivity on the demand for and supply of consumerand small business loans on peer-to-peer (P2P) FinTech sites such as LendingClub.P2P loan demand increases when geographically distant, but socially connected areashave large amounts of past P2P borrowing activity. Both approval rates and quality (asmeasured by loan grade and interest rates) are higher the greater an area’s aggregate online social connections. Performance (i.e., reductions in defaults or delayed payments)is enhanced by social connectivity indicating that information diffusion through onlinesocial networks improves lending outcomes for both high and low risk borrowers.Keywords:Social Interaction; P2P Lending; Information Asymmetry参考文献: Allen, L., Peng, L., and Shan, Y., 2019.
