摘要
This study investigates the impact of corporate opacity on a firm's corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance and the relationship between CSR and financial performance. Corporate opacity reflects the different levels of the market scrutiny and the possible entrenchment problem toward investors. By applying regression analysis, we find that corporate opacity is negatively associated with a firm's CSR performance and that the positive effect of CSR on long-term profitability weakens as opacity increases. Our findings contribute to the introduction of a new mediator, corporate opacity, to explain the mixed results on the relationship between CSR and financial performance. We suggest the consideration of corporate opacity to evaluate the effectiveness of CSR activities on a firm's financial performance.
