“…Simulation methodology facilitates the evaluation of different strategies in a virtual environment and is predominantly applied to determine an optimal strategy to combat a real‐time problem. Research literature has extensively employed simulation‐based methodologies in policy and strategy evaluation (Hashim et al., 2001; Ören, 2019). Moreover, this methodology is considered superior to other statistical approaches, as it enables the researchers to predict and evaluate behaviors under experimental conditions, and as well test various strategies in a virtual prototype, especially y when evaluation of strategies in a real environment is costly, dangerous and time‐consuming (Ören, 2019).…”

In line with this notion, Epstein (2009) determined the most effective containment strategy to control the spread of pandemic flu through the implementation of simulation‐based experiments.…”

Bias‐driven marketing leverages the behavioral biases of investors for greater marketing gains. To transform cognitively biased individuals from antagonists into allies, the marketers need to decipher the critical crowdfunding attributes, which ultimately motivate behaviorally biased crowdfunders to invest in crowdfunding campaigns. Hence, this study seeks to investigate the influential factors concerning four behavioral biases that accelerate crowdfunding adoption. A conceptual model, parameterized using conjoint analysis, is developed and administered in an agent‐based behavior model to effectively determine the influential crowdfunding attributes, which will induce the biased investors to adopt crowdfunding. The results revealed that status quo biased individuals adopted the crowdfunding campaign when launched by well‐known and reputed fund raisers. Whereas, hyperbolic discounting bias accelerated the adoption when the campaign reached more than 75% of subscription and duration was lesser than 30 days. The results also indicated that framing bias enhanced the adoption when the risk inherent in the project is disclosed. Finally, the results also claimed that individuals liable to loss aversion bias expected a known funder, who posts frequent updates and preferred the All‐or‐Nothing crowdfunding model. The experimental results of the study provide insights to the marketers that crowdfunding campaigns can be successfully strategized through the exploration of underlying cognitive biases and the corresponding motivational cues that accentuate the pledging behavior of the funders. Given the importance of an effective marketing strategy in crowdfunding adoption, this study offers one such recommendation to the crowdfunding campaigners by demonstrating how bias driven marketing strategy enhances the adoption rate of the campaigns. With the strong pieces of evidence obtained from this study, it is anticipated that behavioral biases, drawn from the neuromarketing theory, will no longer be viewed as cognitive errors from the investor's perspective. Rather, it will be viewed as a boon from the marketer's perspective as the bias‐based marketing strategies have the potential to achieve a fully subscribed crowdfunding campaign.
