Abstract

This study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on firm value and the mediating effect of financial technology (FinTech) applications. Examining the U.S.-listed domestic and foreign firms, we find the negative association between the severity of the virus pandemic and firm value. However, we also show the evidence that FinTech applications alleviate the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on firm value. These findings provide important implications for global regulators, investors, and managers.
