Abstract
Drawing upon a dataset of cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) events of Chinese enterprises from 2010 to 2017, this study investigates the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on the completion of cross-border M&A with a focus on the moderating role of institutional distance. The results highlight the significance of CSR on the completion of cross-border M&A. The robustness tests including changing estimation model, new measurements, propensity score matching, and instrumental variable tests show that the main results are consistent.
