摘要

我们研究了本土ceo与企业社会责任（CSR）之间的关系。我们的分析表明，本土ceo与更高的企业社会责任参与度和企业价值增加有关。这些公司表现出更高的资产周转率，更低的股本成本，更高的生产率，销售额和利润率。本土ceo更关注社区、环境和与员工相关的企业社会责任，并将其与减少碳排放联系起来。这种关系在本地业务集中度和投资者监督程度较高的公司中更为明显。在最近的危机中，由本土ceo领导的公司获得了更高的回报。我们的结果表明，价值的增加不是主要由于代理效应，并保持稳健的内生性问题。研究表明，CEO的社区关系可能会影响企业社会责任的有效性，这表明仅仅参与企业社会责任可能不足以提高信任和价值。这些结果突出了地方关系在企业领导和企业社会责任战略中的潜在重要性。

Local boy does good: The effect of CSR activities on firm value

We examine the relation between home CEOs and corporate social responsibility (CSR). Our analysis shows home CEOs are associated with higher CSR engagement and increased firm value. These firms exhibit higher asset turnover, lower cost of equity, improved productivity, sales, and profit margins. Home CEOs focus more on community, environmental, and employee-related CSR, and are linked to reduced carbon emissions. This relationship is stronger in firms with higher local business concentration and investor monitoring. Firms led by home CEOs earn higher returns during recent crises. Our results suggest the value increase is not primarily due to agency effects and remain robust to endogeneity concerns. The study indicates a CEO’s community connection may influence CSR effectiveness, suggesting that mere CSR engagement may not suffice to boost trust and value. These results highlight the potential importance of local ties in corporate leadership and CSR strategy.
