Managers’ CSR Awareness and Disclosure Quality
摘要
This chapter investigates how firms’ external stakeholder engagement affects their financial performance. A Firm’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives for corporate sustainability can determine organizational governance capability to avoid biased disclosure from a myopic management viewpoint. We focus on the quality of accounting earnings reports and management earnings forecast inaccuracies. We examine whether CSR intensity (as a proxy of managers’ CSR awareness) affects market valuation by influencing disclosure bias. Our findings reveal that firm’,s responsible external stakeholder engagement retains myopic investment in capital market.
