Abstract:

In this paper, we estimate the effect of status incentives on charitable giving by exploiting a natural experiment during China's political reform in 2002 that significantly improved the status of private entrepreneurs and their enterprises. We find that exogenous changes in social, political and economic status of private entrepreneurs led to a significant increase in the corporate giving of their privately owned firms. The findings are robust when we use different samples of the data and when we control for a large set of entrepreneurs and firm characteristics in the regression analysis.

摘要：

2002年中国的政治改革使民营企业家及其企业的地位得到了显著提高，本文利用这一准自然实验评估了身份激励对企业慈善捐赠的影响。我们发现民营企业家的社会、政治和经济地位的外生改变导致了企业捐赠数额的大幅增长。本文的研究结论在我们使用不同子样本以及控制大量企业家和企业特征后依然稳健。
