【论文摘要】This study empirically examines how the corporate social responsibility (CSR)disclosures of Chinese firms helps to attract foreign investors. Results show a strong positive relationship between CSR disclosure and foreign ownership. High levels of CSR disclosure can reduce information asymmetry between enterprises and foreign shareholders, and can attract more foreign investors. Increases in firm-level CSR disclosure over time positively lead to subsequent increases in foreign ownership. The influence of CSR reports on foreign ownership is more pronounced for voluntary disclosure than mandatory disclosure. Additionally, such positive association is strengthened when foreign investors come from common law countries that have high levels of investor protection. Overall, our study provides practical guidance on the impact of non-financial information, suggesting that CSR reporting can help firms in transition economies to enhance their information environment and consolidate a good relationship with international shareholders.
