Abstract

We investigate the impact of investors' device type on online crowdfunding decisions. The findings demonstrate that investors on a PC (vs. smartphone) perceive higher risk in their investment, which then lowers their willingness to invest, and this negative indirect effect is stronger in temporally-distant or socially-distant conditions.
