A Portion of Profits to Charity: Corporate Social Responsibility and Firm Profitability.
I develop a model in which a firm can choose to donate a portion of its profits to the provision of a public good.

I also identify circumstances under which corporate social responsibility makes consumers worse off. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
