Figure
1
shows the time trend of Fintech and bank risk Z-Score. It can be seen that
from 2011 to 2016, Fintech developed rapidly and showed an upward trend. Meanwhile,
bank risk z-score shows a certain volatility, reaching a peak in 2012 and a trough in 2013.
Intuitively, it is difficult to judge the correlation between Fintech and bank risk z-score.

Figure 1.
Z-score trend of Fintech and bank risk.
In order to better judge the risk trends of different types of banks, we divided the
banks into larger banks (large) and smaller banks (small), as well as city commercial banks
(CCB) and rural commercial banks (RCB). It can be seen from Figure 2 that the Z-Score of
large banks is significantly lower than that of small banks, which shows that the size of
banks may be an important factor affecting risk behavior. However, for city and rural
commercial banks, the Z-Score trend is not very clear. Relatively speaking, the Z-Score of
city commercial banks is relatively volatile. This also shows that the institutional attributes
of banks may not be an important factor affecting risk behavior.

Among them, the subscript
i
indicates the
i
-th bank, and t indicates the t-year. The
explanatory variable risk indicates the bank’s risk-taking, including Z-Score and Volatility
of Return on Assets (SDROA). The core explanatory variable Fintech represents the degree
of Fintech development in the city
m
where the bank
i
is registered, including the
breadth of the digital financial index (Fintech 1) and credit level (Fintech 2). Bank is a
control variable at the bank level, including bank size (Size), asset-liability ratio (DAR),
