The real effects of stock prices: learning, disclosure and corporate social responsibility

Abstract: This paper develops a tractable model to study the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on real decisions (i.e., production and disclosure decisions) of a firm which can learn from the stock price. Firms with high CSR disclose more precise information, improving the stock liquidity and price efficiency, which also benefit liquidity traders and consumers. Interventions by regulators in firms' disclosure decisions, such as mandatory disclosure, can improve social welfare, but their effectiveness depen… Show more

“…This study also relates to the literature in mixed markets such as mixed duopoly or mixed bilateral monopoly, where a purely for-profit firm competes or cooperates with a dual-purpose firm whose objective deviates from pure profit maximization. Prior literature on mixed duopoly suggests that the presence of such a dual-purpose firm changes the competitive dynamics and alters other critical decision-making such as R&D and information disclosure (e.g., Arya et al 2019, Bova and Yang 2018, Ishibashi and Matsumura 2006, Ji et al 2019, Kopel and Brand 2012, Matsumura 1998. This stream of literature focuses on the horizontal interactions among competitors.…”

“…Moreover, some studies find that during a crisis, the good reputation engendered by actively taking social responsibility has an isolation effect on external shocks that may cause financial losses to the company and can protect the company's stock price from the economic downturn (Schnietz & Epstein, 2005). Ji et al (2019) find that firms with higher levels of CSR disclose more precise information, which improves stock liquidity and price efficiency. Patten (2008) empirically studies the capital market's reaction to the philanthropic giving behavior of 79 US companies after the tsunami disaster in Southeast Asia in 2004 and finds that the 5‐day CAR of these companies were significantly positive, indicating that the companies' philanthropic giving during the disaster event received a positive reaction from the capital market.…”
