Abstract
The evidence supporting the protective effect of pre-COVID-19 corporate social responsibility (CSR) on firm value during the COVID-19 pandemic remains vague. In times of crisis, Feng Shui philosophy can serve as a decision-making criterion for Chinese investors to trade stocks because a lucky stock code can provide investors with a feeling of control when facing great challenge, stress, and uncertainty. This study examines the impact of pre-COVID-19 corporate social responsibility (CSR) on hospitality and tourism firm value during COVID-19 and the moderating effect of lucky stock codes. The results show that pre-COVID-19 corporate social responsibility (CSR) has a U-shaped impact on firm value and that the U-shaped effect is more pronounced for firms with a luckier stock code.
期刊介绍:
The Annals of Tourism Research is a scholarly journal that focuses on academic perspectives related to tourism. The journal defines tourism as a global economic activity that involves travel behavior, management and marketing activities of service industries catering to consumer demand, the effects of tourism on communities, and policy and governance at local, national, and international levels. While the journal aims to strike a balance between theory and application, its primary focus is on developing theoretical constructs that bridge the gap between business and the social and behavioral sciences. The disciplinary areas covered in the journal include, but are not limited to, service industries management, marketing science, consumer marketing, decision-making and behavior, business ethics, economics and forecasting, environment, geography and development, education and knowledge development, political science and administration, consumer-focused psychology, and anthropology and sociology.
