Abstract

Crowdfunding platforms are increasingly sensitive to sustainable practices. However, the connections between these platforms and sustainability remain under-researched. This study examines how the sustainability orientation of equity crowdfunding platforms influences their performance. Conducting a longitudinal analysis based on 573 platforms in 37 OECD countries over the 2008–2023 period, we document that social-oriented platforms outperform their counterparts. Platforms operating in countries with a more individualist and masculine culture gain less from their social orientation. We contribute to research and inform practitioners by showing that crowdfunding platforms benefit from engaging with sustainability issues and that cultural contexts matter for promoting sustainable crowdfunding.

可持续众筹与文化背景：多国纵向分析的证据

众筹平台对可持续实践越来越敏感。然而，对这些平台与可持续发展之间的联系仍然研究不足。本研究探讨了股权众筹平台的可持续发展导向如何影响其绩效。通过对 2008-2023 年间 37 个经合组织国家的 573 个平台进行纵向分析，我们发现社会导向型平台的表现优于同类平台。在个人主义和男权文化色彩较浓的国家运营的平台从其社会导向中获得的收益较少。我们的研究表明，众筹平台从参与可持续发展问题中获益，而文化背景对促进可持续众筹至关重要，从而为研究做出了贡献，并为从业者提供了信息。
