Recent empirical studies find mixed evidence on the relation between corporate social responsibility and corporate tax payments. We investigate for a European sample whether the two constructs act as substitutes or complements. We analyse the relation using a linear unobserved effects panel model. Our findings suggest that corporate social responsibility and corporate tax payments act as substitutes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
