讲座摘要: Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between a firm’s geographic proximity to the local governments and its corporate philanthropy in an emerging economy. Drawing on the geographic strategy literature and information voids perspective, we argue that a greater geographic distance of a firm from the local administrative governments increases the firm’s corporate donation. More important, this positive effect is weaker for firms with political connection but is stronger when governments intervention is greater. Two empirical analyses using a sample of 11,978 firm-year observations obtained from publicly listed firms in China from 2008 to 2013, and another sample of 3,775 firm-year observations obtained from the Chinese Private Enterprise Survey from 1995 to 2002, both support our arguments.
