The rise of FinTech marks a crucial milestone in the global financial industry that has affected theories and practices of conventional financial supervision. Laws and regulations for financial supervision should be flexible enough to help FinTech innovate and develop but should also assist supervisory agencies in controlling the development of FinTech businesses. Taiwan's Act on Financial Technology Innovations and Experiments was approved on December 29, 2017. This act is the first ''regulatory sandbox'' act worldwide and has had a great influence on the development of FinTech in Taiwan and the competitiveness of its financial businesses. This study explores the market response to the ''regulatory sandbox'' by employing a multiple regression model to investigate the moderating effects of company characteristics on share price. The empirical results of this study showed that announcing regulatory sandbox bills had a significant and positive effect on enhancing incremental information content. Regulatory sandbox bills had a higher influence on the stock prices of financial industries than on those of financial technology industries. These results can serve as references to governments for formulating subsequent regulatory sandbox development strategies and to related investors for decision making. |
