讲座概要
It is commonly believed that market characteristics and CEO’s personal characteristics affect corporate CSR/ESG engagement. Unlike the existing literature, this paper investigates CSR/ESG motivation through the habit formation perspective. In 2008, a great earthquake struck Wenchuan, China, and the central government mandated 19 provinces to provide counterpart support for affected counties. Using the difference-in-differences (DID) approach, we find that firms involved in reconstruction assistance exhibit higher CSR scores afterwards. Further analyses reveal that the assistance experience cultivates the formation of CSR habits through managers. Once a firm replaces the chairman or CEO, the CSR improvement effect diminishes by half. Conversely, firms without assistance experience achieve higher CSR performance when appointing new executives with such experience. Moreover, we identify positive intra-city spillovers, but no intra-industry spillovers are observed. Our research highlights the role of government-enterprise collaboration in fostering corporate sustainable practices.
