Sustainability, investor behavior, and crowdfunding: survey data analysis
This research project involves the analysis of primary data, collected through a sample survey, on the factors influencing investment decisions in alternative finance instruments. The specific focus of the analysis is crowdfunding, with reference to campaigns with an environmental and social impact. The activity consists of building the relevant indicators, carrying out statistical analysis of the collected data, and studying the cognitive and behavioral mechanisms (risk perception, trust, information credibility, sustainability orientation) that drive investment propensity, including through a comparison of different ways of communicating the project. This is followed by a discussion of the results and their positioning within the relevant literature. The project builds on a research line on crowdfunding, responsible investment and behavioral finance, and aims to generate evidence relevant to both academic debate and industry practitioners.
