    Financial technology (fintech) startups have emerged as a compelling and digital alternative within the financial industry. However, the expansion is crucial because without proper regulation, the emergence of fintech in any country can potentially jeopardize its financial stability. In this empirical work, we analyze the emergence of fintech startups in the financial industry of a set of countries, focusing on human capital elements and regulatory environments. The study proposes a positive effect of a country’s knowledge-based capabilities on the creation of fintech startups through the country’s entrepreneurial absorptive capacity by adopting the theoretical framework of the Absorptive Capacity Theory of Knowledge Spillover Entrepreneurship. Moreover, we argue that the regulatory framework also plays a significant role in moderating the impact of entrepreneurial absorptive capacity on the establishment of fintech startups in any given country. We test our theoretical predictions using ordinary least squares and negative binomial regressions on a sample of 56 countries during the period 2008–2017. Our study demonstrates that the regulatory framework, previously regarded as a direct factor influencing fintech startup creation, also plays a significant role in moderating the impact of entrepreneurial absorptive capacity on the establishment of fintech startups. Furthermore, we find that this role may be influenced by the level of corruption in the economy and the specific types of fintech firms. These findings highlight that the drivers of fintech company creation are interconnected and work in conjunction to provide entrepreneurs with appropriate incentives to initiate new fintech ventures. © 2024 Springer Nature

    Beliefs that provide a foundation for heuristics and biases in financial decision-making

    Heuristics and biases are the result of intuitive thinking, which is shaped starting from intuitions, feelings, and impressions, which later emerge as beliefs once processed through analytical thinking. In this study, we examine beliefs that provide a foundation for heuristics and biases in financial decision-making through in-depth interviews with 31 upper-class Mexican emerging adults. We found feelings of mistrust that provide a foundation for foreign bias, non-herding behavior and reliance on professional advice, as well as lower-risk investing beliefs that then drive sustainable investing. We also found reflection that their money, in light of their narrative is either saved or invested regardless of its source and that lenders were framed as investors to avoid the shame they associate with borrowing. Implications for future research, educational interventions and providers of financial services are discussed. ©Universidad del País Vasco (en euskera: Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea; UPV/EHU
