Abstract
In the era of fintech, businesses using technology other than traditional banks are providing financial services. Crowdfunding and peer-to-peer (P2P) lending are two of the most exciting financial innovations of the twenty-first century. In this paper, we use a bibliometric review and meta-analysis to understand the academic research on crowdfunding and P2P lending. Our findings show that the research on this topic has grown a lot in terms of publications since 2013 and the maximum mean total citations were observed in the year 2014. We provide the details about the most influential authors based on total citations, authors with the greatest number of publications, the most influential documents, significant journal sources, highest single country production, multiple country production, and important affiliations. We further apply the network analysis and visualisation techniques wherein we provide the details of the citation analysis of documents, co-citation analysis of authors, and co-occurrence analysis of author keywords. Finally, we provide the future directions of the research on this burgeoning topic.
