Overview
My research focuses on the determinants of Corporate Social Responsibility. My thesis will follow the three-paper model. The thesis will engage with the following three chapters:
- The first chapter contributes to our understanding of how firms adopt more stakeholder-friendly policies to meet the expectations and preferences in CSR of their customers for legitimacy purposes.
- In the second chapter, we study whether the characteristics surrounding geographical areas near a firm's headquarters, as captured by legal heritage, can foster its engagement in CSR activities to conform to the regional norms and values
-
In the third chapter, we investigates how firms’ CSR performance is influenced when they are socially connected to firms that have been involved in a corporate scandal
