Did Corporate Social Responsibility Vaccinate Corporations Against COVID-19?

Abstract: Using an international setting consisting of 5410 corporations domiciled in 24 countries, we test the insurance-like effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance in the era of the pandemic and confirm that CSR performance increases socially responsible companies’ resilience against the adverse effects of the crisis. Comparing stakeholders' responses to CSR activities during the pandemic and normal periods, we observe that the link between CSR performance and firm value is stronger during the cri… Show more

“…We created two dummy variables based on the median level of CSRP in each industry groupings. Following Poursoleyman et al (2023), firms with CSRP above their industry median are classified as High_CSRP , and those below their industry median are classified as Low_CSRP . This was estimated using model 4.…”
