Descrição
Resumo:Peer-to-peer (P2P) lending is an essential business model in technology finance and an alternative focused on promoting the raising of funds for borrowers in a novel way. However, the possibility that applicants who access loans through this business model may default on their payment obligations is a major concern for lenders and investors. The present study thus aims to examine the approaches employed in the analysis of this business model and to identify patterns and trends through a bibliometric analysis using R's Bibliometrix and VOSviewer. Seven different study approaches were identified and an essential part of the factors that can increase the probability of default. The bibliometric analysis suggest that the main publications come from the United States and China, from the University of Maryland and the National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology, SSRN Electronic Journal is the leading journal, the most analyzed platforms are Lendingclub.com and Prosper.com, the main statistical techniques used are probit and logistic regression. Bin Gu stands out for his production and collaboration with other authors in terms of co-authorship networks. Keyword co-occurrence shows that peer-to-peer lending, default risk, and fintech are the most common. Finally, the thematic mapping shows that screening, market inference, peer to peer lending, misreporting, China, and information asymmetry are the main themes. The practical implications of these findings are of interest to researchers and academics, as they help to identify significant and emerging themes within the field and suggest potential avenues for future research.
