Abstract
This study examines the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) expenditure on the corporate performance of listed firms in India. It tries to explore the effect of business group affiliation and mandatory CSR norm on the CSR-performance relationship. The study period ranges from 2016 to 2021, and the data set comprises companies listed on the National Stock Exchange India. It employs a dynamic panel data model, and more specifically the system generalised method of moments technique to examine this issue. The results reveal a significant and positive association between CSR expenditure and corporate performance. It also shows that business group affiliation reduces CSR-performance sensitivity. Further, we find that mandatory CSR norms significantly influence the CSR-performance relationship.
期刊介绍:
IIMB Management Review (IMR) is a quarterly journal brought out by the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. Addressed to management practitioners, researchers and academics, IMR aims to engage rigorously with practices, concepts and ideas in the field of management, with an emphasis on providing managerial insights, in a reader friendly format. To this end IMR invites manuscripts that provide novel managerial insights in any of the core business functions. The manuscript should be rigorous, that is, the findings should be supported by either empirical data or a well-justified theoretical model, and well written. While these two requirements are necessary for acceptance, they do not guarantee acceptance. The sole criterion for publication is contribution to the extant management literature.Although all manuscripts are welcome, our special emphasis is on papers that focus on emerging economies throughout the world. Such papers may either improve our understanding of markets in such economies through novel analyses or build models by taking into account the special characteristics of such economies to provide guidance to managers.
