Does Corporate Social Responsibility Pay Off in Times of Crisis? An Alternate Perspective on the Relationship between Financial and Corporate Social Performance
Abstract
There are numerous studies analyzing the relationship between corporate social performance (CSP) and financial performance, and even if recent surveys give the upper hand to a generally positive relationship, this question still gives rise to debate. I have chosen to approach this theme from a different angle in order to provide an alternate perspective on this issue: does CSP play a role during periods of uncertainty? I test this hypothesis of CSP acting as an insurance‐like protection on a sample of French listed companies, over several reference periods around the current financial crisis. My findings show a significant positive link between CSP and financial performance for the period corresponding to the beginning of the crisis (second‐half of 2007), but in early 2007 and after the first six months of turmoil, there is no longer a significant connection between the two variables.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
