How Does Corporate Social Responsibility Affect Brand Equity? 企业社会责任如何影响品牌资产?——来自二手车市场的证据

Job Market Paper

Draft available upon request 论文草稿可应询提供

This paper employs a Difference-in-Differences (DiD) strategy to analyze market response to VW's court-mandated Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) investment plan. 本文采用双重差分法 (DiD),利用大众汽车 (VW) 法院强制执行的零排放汽车 (ZEV) 投资计划作为外生冲击,分析市场的动态反应。

Key findings: Finds a significant 13.5% increase in final auction prices of VW used cars, suggesting non-voluntary CSR initiatives can enhance consumer willingness to pay for brand equity. 主要发现: 大众二手车的最终拍卖价格显著上涨了 13.5%。这表明非自愿(法规驱动)的企业社会责任举措依然能够提升消费者对品牌资产的支付意愿。
