Abstract
We provide causal evidence that investments into CSR are affected by firms’ prior financial performance. To establish causality, we make use of the exogenous variation in firm level financial constraints induced by the passage of the AJCA of 2004. We further examine the sensitivity of CSR investments to financial constraints.
Keywords: corporate social responsibility, financial constraints, financial performance, difference-in-difference, the American Jobs Creation Act (AJCA) of 2004
