The relationship between CSR and performance: Evidence in China
Abstract
Abstract This study uses a system of simultaneous equations to investigate various hypotheses on the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and firm performance for state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and non-SOEs in China. The results show variations in market response to CSR engagement by firm ownership type. That is, the market responds favorably to CSR by market-oriented non-SOEs but neutrally to CSR by SOEs with substantial agency costs. The Chinese firms are able to link their CSR activities to firm performance over time, likely recognizing the long-term benefits of CSR. Our study demonstrates the important role of ownership in the dynamic CSR-performance relationship.

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.
