摘要
This study takes the COVID-19 outbreak as a quasi-natural experiment to investigate whether corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance can help firms mitigate drops in their share prices. The results show that CSR ratings are positively associated with cumulative abnormal return (CAR) during the COVID-19 outbreaks periods. Further, the positive role of CSR is more significant for non-state-owned enterprises (non-SOE) and those located in regions with lower levels of marketization. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V.
