The time-to-success of reward crowdfunding campaigns constitutes a relevant topic that has been neglected in business literature. In this study, we employ parametric and semi-parametric models of survival analysis to identify the determining factors of the duration of success of these campaigns. Based on more than 4,200 reward crowdfunding campaigns, our results are robust for controls and reveal that the campaigns that attain success most rapidly are located predominantly in cities with greater income inequality. These are cities that are characterized by lower fundraising targets and receive a larger number of pledges. In addition, our covariates indicate a non-constant influence on time-to-success during the fundraising period.

A proposal for monitoring and evaluating the performance of Brazilian states against COVID-19 is presented, employing a set of non-linear growth functions. This is necessary given its unprecedented nature in the face of public policies known to Brazilian society in the 21st century. The daily data on the accumulated cases of the 27 Brazilian states were collected on the Ministry of Health of Brazil's website. As of 14-November-2020, the Richards, Weibull, Gompertz and logistic functions, respectively in order, are those that best explain the evolution of COVID-19 in Brazilian states. Moreover, it was identified, through a quadrants system, the States that are being more/less efficient in the short/long term. Thus, it is expected that this monitoring and evaluation framework will allow policy-makers to have a better view of the performance of the actions of Brazilian states in confronting COVID-19 over time.
