ABSTRACT
This study empirically examines if and how product market competition influences the relation between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and firm value using a panel data set for the period 2003–2015. It explicitly recognizes the endogeneity of CSR and uses instrumental variable (IVGMM) estimation regressions. Results indicate that CSR is positively associated with market value of a firm measured by industry adjusted Tobin’s Q. However, this relation is influenced by product market competition and product fluidity. Specifically, CSR has no impact on firm value in firms that operate in low product competition environments or face low product fluidity. Furthermore, results show that the effect of CSR is driven by CSR strengths as CSR concerns have no effect on firm value. Additional tests show that community, diversity and environment dimensions are the main contributors to the total effect of CSR.
Conclusion
The relation between CSR and firm value is still an open question as there is neither a unified theory nor unanimous empirical evidence. This study argues that using product market competition and product fluidity may explain scenarios where CSR is a value increasing or value reducing investment. Results from IV-GMM regressions that treat CSR as endogenous find that CSR is a value increasing investment when market competition is high and/or product fluidity is high. When competition is low or product fluidity is low, CSR does not seem to have any significant effect on firm value. Furthermore, the effect of CSR on firm value is driven by CSR strengths as CSR concerns have no effect on firm value. Additionally, I find that community, diversity and environment dimensions are the main contributors to the total effect of CSR on frim value. Overall, the results suggest that external discipline imposed by high competition and high product fluidity makes CSR a value increasing investment.
