摘要:We present new evidence on the causal impacts of public perception on digital payment choices. To address potential endogenous concerns, we utilize an unanticipated and significant event as a quasi-natural experiment: Jack Ma's public criticism of China's financial system on October 24, 2020, which led to the cancellation of the Ant Group IPO and substantial fines due to antitrust violations. Using a proprietary dataset containing more than 32 million transactions provided by a major smart parking service platform in China, we find a notable decline in the likelihood of users choosing Alipay, ranging from 7.5 to 12.9 percentage points, after Jack Ma's criticism, given that objective factors such as payment amount, parking duration, discounts, and grace periods remain constant. This event resulted in Alipay losing 10.1 percentage points of market share, which was diverted to alternative competing payment methods such as WeChat Pay, bank cards, and cash. Additionally, we explore two potential mechanisms through which public perception affects payment choices: consumer loyalty erosion and perceived political risks.
