摘要我们研究企业履行自愿报告相关的潜在的好处,公司资本成本的降低。我们发现,权益资本成本高的企业倾向于发布企业社会责任报告,具有更好的社会责任的公司会进行报告,从而会使他们的权益资本下降。此外,那些具有好的社会责任表现并且发布报告的公司能够吸引到机构投资者及专用分析师的分析。更好的社会责任表现也有助于减少预测误差和差距。最后,企业从社会责任报告中获得了降低权益资本成本的好处。报告公司比不报告的公司在报告后的两年内筹集股本和公司股权融资更容易。报告公司要比不报告公司筹集到数量多得多的股本。63996

Title corporate social responsibility disclosure and cost of capital
Abstract We examine a potential benefit associated with the voluntary reporting of corporate social responsibility performance, a reduction in firms’ cost of equity capital. We find that firms with high cost of equity capital tend to release corporate social responsibility reports and that reporting firms with relatively superior social responsibility performance enjoy a reduction in the cost of equity capital. Further, reporting firms with superior social responsibility performance attract dedicated institutional investors and analyst coverage. Superior social responsibility performance also serves to reduce forecast errors and dispersion. Finally, firms appear to exploit the benefit of a reduction in the cost of equity capital associated with social responsibility
reporting: Reporting firms are more likely than non-reporting firms to raise equity capital in the two years following the reporting and among firms raising equity capital, reporting firms raise a significantly larger amount than non-reporting firms.

1.1 研究背景
在过去的十五年里,我们见证了在美国以及世界范围内的企业社会责任披露的显著上升。例如,根据corporateregister.com,一个私营公司,专门跟踪企业社会责任的披露,在美国上世纪90年代中期却少有独立的社会责任报告。然而,从那时起,越来越多的美国公司都致力于这种类型的披露。
