本文通过对企业社会责任及其评价体系的研究,结合中国银行业的特点,创建了中国银行业企业社会责任评价指标体系,同时提出了为每个指标赋权的方法.本文建市的银行业企业社会责任二级评价指标体系,为更好地指导我国银行业履行企业社会责任并对其行为进行评估提供了一定的理论依据.     

金融企业社会责任与财务绩效关系的实证研究

从企业社会责任的概念出发,根据利益相关者的理论框架,提出以股东、员工、消费者、政府为利益相关者的金融企业社会责任指标体系,运用极值标准化处理原始数据和层次分析法设置权重.并通过对我国上市的14家银行2003～2007年的面板数据进行相关分析和回归分析,验证了金融企业社会责任与财务绩效之间的关系,结果基本上证实了金融企业履行社会责任可以提高财务绩效等理论假设.     

传统财务分析指标的延伸与拓展——基于企业社会责任的视角

当前,企业的社会责任引起了越来越多的关注.传统的财务分析指标体系以企业的经济责任分析为核心,忽视了对企业社会责任的评价.本文试图在已有的财务分析指标的基础上,构建一套能合理地评价企业社会责任的指标体系,使得企业利益相关者能公正评价企业的社会责任.     

关于社会责任审计理论框架构建的探索

如今,虽然履行社会责任已逐步得到各企业的重视,并且很多企业加入到定期发布社会责任报告的队伍中,但是社会责任缺失案例仍旧屡见不鲜.因此,企业社会责任的履行情况受到包括利益相关者在内的社会各界的关注.为了更好地引导企业履行社会责任,规范企业的社会责任报告,社会责任审计的重要性越来越明显.本文从利益相关者理论和委托代理理论出发,结合我国的实际情况进行具体分析,对构建社会责任审计理论框架进行了探索.     

企业社会责任与可持续发展研究——基于相关利益者的视角

在全球化的时代背景下,企业社会责任(CSR)已成为理论与实务届备受关注的热门话题.企业由“经济人”到“社会人”的转变,是一种从理念到行为彻头彻尾的蜕变.在市场经济的影响下,企业往往会经不住利益的吸引,用自身持久的发展来换取一时的经济效益,与此同时也给整个社会的和谐发展带来了一些不稳定因素.本文以利益相关者理论为基础,对企业社会责任的内涵、利益相关者理论等基本概念进行了概述,然后通过阐述企业社会责任、企业的可持续发展、利益相关者三者之间存在的关系,最后提出了强化企业履行其社会责任的建议.

食品企业社会责任对经营绩效的影响研究

随着食品企业面临愈发激烈的多元化竞争,其存在的可持续发展问题也日益显露。本文首先对国内外社会责任研究进行综述,然后以53家食品行业上市公司为研究对象,对食品行业通过履行社会责任实施可持续发展战略及其对经营绩效的影响展开研究。本文结合"三重底线"理论与利益相关者理论,建立食品企业社会责任评价体系,分析企业主动承担社会责任与企业经营绩效之间的关系,探究影响食品企业达到终极目标——实现可持续发展的关键因素,提出针对性的意见和建议。实证结果表明,食品企业积极主动地承担社会责任有利于提高企业经营绩效,企业必须关注股东和消费者等利益相关者,以实现共赢。     

基于生命周期视角的企业社会责任假设检验——以我国上市商业银行为例

银行积极承担社会责任不仅有利于银行自身的可持续发展,也有利于优化资源配置以及抵御风险,同时也为利益相关者及监管部门评价其社会责任的履行状况提供了依据。文章以我国已上市的16家商业银行为样本,运用现金流法对不同生命周期阶段的社会责任进行量化分析,分析结果显示了我国银行业在企业社会责任报告的披露与履行方面上实践和理论研究之间的差异,为我国银行业可持续发展提供理论借鉴。     

企业社会责任视角下的财务绩效研究

本文在利益相关者理论框架下,选取适当的指标测量企业的社会责任履行情况、评价企业财务绩效,同时,设置其他影响财务绩效的因素作为研究的控制变量;选取我国沪深两市A股上市公司2008-2012年5年的面板数据,通过建立个体固定效应面板数据模型,对模型进行描述性统计分析、回归分析与稳健性检验,得出结论:对大多数利益相关者的社会责任能提升企业财务绩效,但企业社会责任对财务绩效的积极影响具有一定的滞后性和长期性.同时,根据研究过程中发现的问题和研究结论,为企业社会责任战略的制定提出了意见和建议.     

Corporate social responsibility and stakeholder value maximization: Evidence from mergers

Using a large sample of mergers in the US, we examine whether corporate social responsibility (CSR) creates value for acquiring firms' shareholders. We find that compared with low CSR acquirers, high CSR acquirers realize higher merger announcement returns, higher announcement returns on the value-weighted portfolio of the acquirer and the target, and larger increases in post-merger long-term operating performance. They also realize positive long-term stock returns, suggesting that the market does not fully value the benefits of CSR immediately. In addition, we find that mergers by high CSR acquirers take less time to complete and are less likely to fail than mergers by low CSR acquirers. These results suggest that acquirers' social performance is an important determinant of merger performance and the probability of its completion, and they support the stakeholder value maximization view of stakeholder theory.     

Multi-dimensional corporate social responsibilities and stock price crash risk: Evidence from China

Worldwide, there has been an ongoing debate about whether corporate social responsibility (CSR) can lead to better financial market performance, or whether corporations can do well by doing good. Working with a sample of all listed companies in China from 2010 to 2017, this study examines the impacts of three dimensions of CSR on stock price crash risk. We find that CSR, especially firms' responsibility to the environment and stakeholders, significantly reduces stock price crash risk, while social contributions such as charitable donations have no significant effect on stock crash risk. Attracting long-term institutional investors is the primary mechanism through which CSR can curb crash risk. Mitigating earnings management is also a channel through which overall CSR and stakeholder responsibility contribute to a lower stock crash risk. Finally, we find that stakeholder responsibility and environmental responsibility can help improve stock market performance.     

Sales order backlog and corporate social responsibility

We examine the impact of sales order backlog, an important leading indicator of firm performance, on corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance (measured as responsible and irresponsible CSR performance). We rely on the stakeholder and resource availability views of CSR to develop our hypotheses. Under the stakeholder view, we posit a positive relation between sales order backlog and CSR performance. Under the resource availability view, we posit this relationship to be negative. Our empirical evidence shows a significant positive relation between order backlog and irresponsible CSR performance, suggesting that firms with higher order backlog demonstrate lower overall CSR performance. This evidence is consistent with the resource availability view that engaging in CSR activities consumes valuable firm resources, and thus, firms with limited resources are less likely to invest in CSR initiatives. Firms with high levels of unfulfilled sales orders must focus on fulfilling those orders, and may not be able to devote resources to CSR.     

关于商业银行绩效评价体系的实证研究

基于利益相关者理论和效率理论,借鉴CAMELS、PEARLS等银行评级体系,根据我国16家上市商业银行2004~2009年的财务数据,通过相关性分析和因子分析,从风险、收益和效率三个方面建立了三个层级的商业银行绩效评价指标体系,并在设定各项具体评价指标的评分标准和通过层次分析法来设定各级评价指标的权重的基础上,计算出我国16家上市商业银行2004~2009年的绩效评分。该绩效评价体系较好地反映了我国商业银行整体的经营绩效,对商业银行的经营管理具有较好的参考价值。     

The influence of corporate social responsibility on investment efficiency and innovation

We examine two important channels through which corporate social responsibility (CSR) affects firm value: investment efficiency and innovation. We find that firms with higher CSR performance invest more efficiently: these firms are less prone to invest in negative net present value (NPV) projects (overinvestment) and less prone to forego positive NPV projects (underinvestment). We also find that firms with higher CSR performance generate more patents and patent citations. Mediation analysis indicates that firms with higher CSR performance are more profitable and valuable, consequences partially attributable to efficient investments and innovation. These results, robust to alternate model specifications, lend support to enlightened stakeholder theory.     

Reactive or proactive? Investor sentiment as a driver of corporate social responsibility

Investors and financial markets have been a neglected stakeholder group in studies on a firm’s motivations to be socially and environmentally responsible. Despite being a strong driving force behind firm value, no study has investigated the influence of market and investor sentiments on CSR behaviour. Using a global sample, we investigate the effects of market and investor sentiments on firm CSR performance. We find negative market and investor sentiments in the prior year motivate firms to improve their CSR performance in the next year. We also find the magnitude of improvement in CSR performance differs not only by country, but by CSR sub-category as well. These findings imply that a firm’s motivation to improve its CSR performance is reactionary, rather than being driven by altruism. Regulators and proponents of CSR should thus seek to persuade investors and financial markets to put pressure on firms to further advance the CSR agenda.     

Impact of directors' networks on corporate social responsibility: A cross country study

We investigate the impact of directors' networks on corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities by using an unbalanced panel data of 2023 publicly listed firms from 17 countries during 2003–2018. Drawing on network theory, stakeholder theory, and institutional theory, we find that directors' networks is positively related to their decision of CSR activities. Additionally, we find a positive relation between directors' networks and CSR during financial crises. Our results still hold after a set of sensitivity tests. The findings in our study expand the academic literature related to directors' networks and CSR activities, and assist policymakers and investors in understanding the importance of directors' networks as determining factor of CSR policies.     

The relationship between corporate social responsibility,financial misstatements and SEC enforcement actions

This study explores the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR), financial misstatements and SEC enforcement actions. We find that firms with higher CSR are less likely to receive SEC enforcement actions for financial misstatements. Drawing on insights from stakeholder theory and the reputational literature, we identify two channels underpinning this relationship: (i) firms with higher CSR are less likely to engage in financial misstatements and (ii) the reputational effect of CSR reduces the likelihood of SEC enforcement actions. We find empirical evidence consistent with both channels.     

Corporate social responsibility and bank liquidity creation

Under the stakeholder theory hypothesis, reputable corporate social responsibility (CSR) banks are expected to attract more loans and deposits, which in turn strengthens their ability to create liquidity. Our findings support this view. Further analyses reveal that the positive effect of CSR on liquidity creation differs depending on bank size, bank capital, and type of financial crisis. In addition, deposit growth, loan growth, lending rate, and funding rate are potential channels through which CSR influences bank liquidity creation. The findings are not driven by an endogeneity issue.     

国有企业绩效评价研究：理论发展与模式重构

现行国有企业绩效评价模式在实践中发挥了重要作用,但同时其理论基础方面的缺陷与应用方面的局限性也引出了学术界的进一步探讨。共生理论的应用为绩效评价研究开拓了新的视角,以利益相关者理论以及共生理论为基础的国有企业绩效评价模式重构研究,强调国有企业绩效评价必须同时考虑经济效益、社会责任甚至行政责任,从而更有效地推动国有企业价值创造以及经济的可持续发展。
