摘要

本研究分析了韩国财阀的企业社会责任（CSR）活动，以确定这些企业是否从事社会责任和履行贵族义务。为了衡量企业社会责任活动的程度，我们使用了韩国经济正义研究所（KEJI）2005年至2017年的指数。我们发现，在治理薄弱的财阀企业中，企业社会责任活动水平较低。此外，我们还表明，有信用评级问题的财阀公司减少了其企业社会责任活动。总体而言，我们的研究结果表明，韩国财阀倾向于忽视企业社会责任活动。

Do Korean chaebols practice noblesse oblige? Evidence from their CSR activities

This study analyzes the corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities of the Korean chaebols to establish whether these firms engage in social duties and practice noblesse oblige. To measure the extent of the CSR activities, we use the index of the Korean Economic Justice Institute (KEJI) from 2005 to 2017. We find that the level of the CSR activity among chaebol firms with weak governance is low. Moreover, we show that chaebol firms with credit rating concerns reduce their CSR activities. Overall, our results indicate that Korean chaebols tend to neglect the CSR activities.
