Empirical Research on Financing Constraints,Media Coverage and Voluntary Disclosure of the Corporate Social Responsibility Information

以我国2009—2013年度沪深A股上市公司为样本,将百度新闻指数作为媒体关注的代理指标,分别从披露意愿和披露水平两个层面衡量自愿性社会责任信息披露的积极性,检验了融资约束对企业自愿性信息披露行为的影响,探讨了媒体关注在其中的作用机理。研究发现,融资约束程度高的公司不愿意发布社会责任信息,而媒体关注能够提升其自愿披露的积极性。
