A groundbreaking, comprehensive exploration of how FinTech innovation is reshaping finance.

Technological innovation has shaped the role of finance since the introduction of the ATM in the 1960s, but never more consequentially than by the massive digital revolution in the financial services industry known as FinTech. The Economics of FinTech is a comprehensive introduction to this rapidly evolving and increasingly important domain, and a groundbreaking exploration of how FinTech is reshaping finance. Michael Imerman and Frank Fabozzi distill the dynamic developments of this multidisciplinary field into a cohesive, accessible guide that covers the economic underpinnings of FinTech innovation, framed within the established principles of financial intermediation, management theory, and data science. Coverage includes in-depth analysis of emerging technologies and innovations across various sectors of financial services as well as the entrepreneurial finance of FinTech such as funding, valuation, and startup management.
