Book Description
Corporate social respon. (CSR) is increasingly a core component of corp. strategy in the global economy. While corp. are busy adopting & enhancing CSR practices, there is no established empirical research on CSR¿s impact & relevance in the capital market. This paper investigates this issue by tracing the market reaction to corp. entry & exit from the Domini 400 Social Index, recognized as a CSR benchmark, between 1990 & 2004. There are 2 main findings: a significant upward trend in absolute value abnormal returns, irrespective of the type of event, & a significant negative effect on abnormal returns after exit announce. from the Domini index. The latter effect persists even after controlling for concurring financial distress shocks & stock market seasonality.
