Natural Language Processing for Financial Regulation: Measuring Regulatory Complexity
Abstract
We develop novel NLP-based measures of financial regulatory complexity using the complete corpus of Chinese financial regulations from 2000 to 2024. Our textual analysis reveals that regulatory complexity has increased threefold over this period, with significant implications for compliance costs and financial innovation. Firms in more complex regulatory environments exhibit lower investment efficiency.
中国金融监管复杂度在2000-2024年间增长了三倍。监管复杂度显著增加了企业合规成本,降低了投资效率,且对中小企业的负面影响更为突出。
基于NLP技术开发金融监管复杂度的新型度量指标,对2000-2024年中国金融监管文本全语料库进行文本分析,构建监管复杂度指数并分析其经济后果。
监管复杂度是影响金融创新和企业投资的重要制度因素。简化监管框架、提高监管透明度有助于降低合规成本并促进金融创新。
