We investigate how budget disclosure affects the funding outcome of reward-based crowdfunding campaigns. We show that information transparency can hurt campaign campaign managers, reducing funding. To investigate the mechanism of such an unexpected finding, we investigate the details of the budgets, showing that the operational costs increase the funding while marketing costs reduce it. We also show that budget disclosure can improve the operational performance of campaign managers.
