Corporate Social Responsibility, Tariff and Technological Innovation in an Open Economy

Abstract

By constructing a mixed oligopoly competition model in an open economy, the internal relationship between tariff policy changes, domestic corporate social responsibility and technological innovation is deeply revealed. The theoretical deduction shows that the tariff rate has a negative correlation with the social responsibility preference of domestic consumer-friendly enterprises, and reducing the tariff can improve the social responsibility preference of domestic enterprises; Higher tariff rates will reduce domestic consumer surplus and reduce the efficiency of tariff collection of regulators. Higher investment in technological innovation can increase domestic consumer surplus and improve domestic corporate social responsibility preference.
