The impact of quality signals on the performance of COVID-19 related crowdfunding

This study aims to examine the impact of quality signals on crowdfunding performance. The data are based on 80 projects gathered from three Malaysian donation-based crowdfunding platforms that use a keep-it-all funding approach. OLS regression is used to estimate the relationship between quality sig...
