For goodwill or resources? The rationale behind firms' corporate philanthropy in an environment with high economic policy uncertainty

  • Source : Science Direct
  • 1 January 1970
This paper investigates the impact of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on corporate philanthropy (CP) in Chinese A-share listed firms. It finds that firms generally decrease CP with increasing EPU, but private firms respond heterogeneously by increasing donations. Further analysis indicates private firms engage in more CSR activities simultaneously and receive more subsidies for their additional CP, suggesting political and altruistic motives. The study concludes that the primary motivation for Chinese private firms’ additional CP during high EPU is to secure government resources rather than build consumer loyalty.

Do Giving Circles Democratize Philanthropy? Donor Identity and Giving to Historically Marginalized Groups

  • Source : Springer
  • 1 January 1970
This research focuses on understanding how giving circle (GC) member identities are associated with the identities of funding recipients. It examines whether GC members are more likely than non-members to give to people who are like them (bonding social capital) and/or to people who are not like them (bridging social capital). We draw on data from a survey of GC members and a comparison control group of non-GC members. Findings show GC members and those not in GCs are both more likely to give to a shared identity group—related to race, gender, and gender identity—leading to bonding social capital.
