    Abstract

    We provide causal evidence that investments into CSR are affected by firms’ prior financial performance. To establish causality, we make use of the exogenous variation in firm-level financial constraints induced by the passage of the AJCA of 2004. We further examine the sensitivity of CSR investments to financial constraints.
