【Abstract】 This paper constructs a comprehensive index of social responsibility of listed companies in China through principal component analysis,and empirically studies the specific effects of corporate social responsibility on technological innovation and its impact mechanism. The study finds that social responsibility has a significant positive effect on corporate innovation,and social responsibility in different dimensions has a significant positive impact on corporate innovation.Taking into account the endogenous problems that may exist in the model,the identification strategies such as enterprise fixed effect model,panel tool variables and propensity score matching are used. The results show that social responsibility enhancement can significantly improve the level of enterprise innovation. Mechanism analysis shows that corporate social responsibility enhances corporate innovation by improving employees’ sense of occupational safety,reducing management short-sightedness,and alleviating financing constraints. At the same time,this paper excludes the interference of potential competitive explanations such as corporate employee equity incentives,corporate free cash flow,and corporate political connections. This paper uses the Chinese enterprise data for the first time to build a corporate social responsibility comprehensive index,empirically analyze the impact of social responsibility on technological innovation and its mechanism of action,make up for research gaps in related fields,and provide an important supplement for corporate social responsibility and technological innovation research.更多还原
