corporate social responsibility AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:  THE “VIRTUOUS CIRCLE” REVISITED
 
    Abstract
  
 We examine the causal relation  between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and financial  performance.  Consistent with past studies, we  find that the two variables appear to be related  when we use traditional statistical techniques.   However, using a time series fixed effects  approach, we find that the relation between CSR and financial performance is much weaker than  previously thought.  We also find little evidence of causality between financial performance and  narrower measures of social performance that  focus on stakeholder management.  Our results  suggest that strong stock market  performance results in leads to greater firm investment in  aspects of CSR devoted to employee relations, but CSR activities do not affect financial  performance.  We conclude that corporate social responsibility is driven more by unobservable  firm characteristics than by financial performance.   

Keywords:  JEL Classification Codes:  G34 - Corporate Governance; M14 - Corporate Culture; Social  Responsibility    

Introduction

The area of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become a notable topic both in the  business and academic press.  However, opinions differ as to whether a firm’s CSR activity  provides any economic benefits.  A 2005 article in The Economist described CSR as being “little  more than a cosmetic treatment,” whereas a  Global Finance article in 2004  reports on the  advantages of practicing corporate social responsibility.
   
Academic research on the causal relation between CSR and financial performance – what  is sometimes referred to as the “virtuous circle” – generally find that the two are directly related.   Waddock and Graves (1997) and Hillman and Keim (2001) find that increased CSR leads to  enhanced financial performance and vice versa.  Verschoor and Murphy (2002), using the top  100 “Best Corporate Citizens” as  reported by Business Ethics magazine, find that firms with  strong social values and practices exhibit superior financial performance.  McGuire, Sundgren  and Schneeweis (1988) find that prior year’s  stock returns and accounting-based performance  measures are related to current measures of  CSR, but that a past record of good social  performance does not affect the current financial performance of a firm.
