How does innovation moderate the CSR impact on financial performance? An exploratory study and an empirical validation in the Tunisian context

Purpose This paper aims to examine the effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on firm performance (FP) of companies listed on the Tunis Stock Exchange. Design/methodology/approach This paper reports on two empirical studies. The first was an exploratory qualitative study carried out on a sample of 30 Tunisian companies operating in different sectors. The second empirical study used a panel data regression analysis, to examine data from 46 companies listed on the Tunis Stock Exchange during the 2017 to 2021 period. Findings The results of the exploratory qualitative study pointed out the specificities of the Tunisian context as to the importance of CSR. The results highlighted also the importance of the 2018 CSR law in Tunisia, yet it drew attention to the non-implementation of its applying texts, meaning that CSR is not always enforced in the Tunisian context. Moreover, in this qualitative study, most companies confirmed that CSR is a key factor behind good governance practices. By studying the impact of CSR on various FP proxies, the results highlight that CSR has a positive and significant impact on FP measured by ROA as an accounting variable and stock returns as a market-measure variable. In addition, the authors confirm the moderating effect of innovation on the CSR and FP relationship. Indeed, innovation affects corporate FP differently. It hinders accounting-based FP while fostering the market-based one. Practical implications The study provides insights for managers into how CSR approaches can be used to maximize profits, improve its FP and reputation, while considering the corporate innovative capacities. CSR is a real performance lever for companies, a means of improving their economic, environmental and social efficiency. It enables companies to anticipate constraints and prevent risks, reduce certain operational costs, optimize resources, communicate a good image and stand out from the competition, gain easier access to innovation, strengthen their competitive edge, gain easier access to financing and strengthen their territorial and social roots. Originality/value The main contribution of this paper is the adoption of two empirical approaches. These two methods are complementary. The first is an exploratory qualitative approach aimed at better understanding the current state of CSR implementation by Tunisian companies. The second one is quantitative, a panel data regression analysis. Furthermore, the authors test the moderating effect of innovation on the studied link. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper that investigates the moderating effect of innovation on CSR FP in the Tunisian context. Finally, robustness tests were conducted to test the reliability of this study’s results.

Energy-efficient growth for sustainability: an empirical analysis of its determinants in industries

Purpose In the process of industrial growth, when existing industries go for technology upgradation and new modernised industries emerge, both capital intensity and energy demand of overall industry tend to rise steadily. This poses a serious challenge for sustainable development objectives. Towards this end, enhancing energy efficiency of individual industries is the only remedy. Against this backdrop, the study aims to probe the trends in capital intensities and energy efficiencies of individual industries in India. Design/methodology/approach This study uses panel data regression analysis on data of two-digit industries from 1980/1981–2016/2017. The statistical analysis includes relevant macroeconomic variables derived from the literature to ascertain the drivers of energy efficiency in industries. Findings The results brought out that capital deepening due to technology upgradation and modernisation and capital productivity growth are the decisive determinants of energy efficiency growth. Furthermore, the ever-increasing fuel price motivated industries to conserve energy on a steady basis, supplemented by energy conservation-specific policy interventions. Research limitations/implications This study recommends policy initiatives to ascertain and address technology gaps industry-wise, so that its subsequent efficient capital utilisation, and energy conservation measures of industries would result in energy efficiency growth in industry. The policy must focus on energy-efficient capital intensification in fabricated metals, leather, textile and wood industries that are found less-energy-efficient despite being less-capital-intensive. Originality/value This study empirically explores the capital efficiency of industries by investigating the interaction between capital intensity and energy efficiency at a two-digit industry level. It explores the determinants of energy efficiency and proposes industry-specific policies for energy-efficiency-enhancement of the overall industry.

Understanding The Influence Of Shadow Economy And Foreign Direct Investment On Corporate Tax Revenue In Latin America: The Moderating effect Of Corruption Control

Taxation is an essential mechanism that funds government expenditures and underpins the growth and development of any country. This research examines the influence of the shadow economy and foreign direct investment (FDI) on corporate income tax revenue in Latin America, considering the moderating role of corruption control. Using panel data regression analysis, we analyze data from various Latin American countries to explore the complex interactions between these economic factors and tax revenue. Our findings indicate that corruption control has a positive and significant effect on corporate income tax revenue. However, the relationship between the shadow economy and tax revenue changes when moderated by corruption control. Without moderation, the shadow economy positively impacts tax revenue, but in the presence of higher corruption control, it leads to reduced tax revenue. Similarly, while FDI initially shows a positive impact on tax revenue, this effect turns negative when considering corruption control. These findings shed light on the nuanced relationships between economic factors and tax revenue in Latin America, offering valuable insights for policy formulation and future research.

Does Independent Commissioner Decrease The Positive Association Between Transfer Pricing And Tax Avoidance?

Indonesia's tax ratio has not increased proportionally to projected tax revenues. A low tax ratio indicates tax avoidance. One type of tax avoidance strategy is transfer pricing. The presence of independent commissioners is expected to suppress transfer pricing practices as a forum for tax avoidance by management. This research examines the contribution of transfer pricing to tax avoidance practices. The study also investigates the moderation role of independent commissioners on managers' tax avoidance actions. The sample selection was carried out purposely on multinational manufacturing companies listed from 2019 to 2022 on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, resulting in 12 multinational manufacturing companies as samples. This research utilizes quantitative methods through panel data regression analysis. The test result finds that transfer pricing positively influences tax avoidance. However, the independent commissioner succeeds in weakening the positive influence of transfer pricing on tax avoidance. This indicates that independent commissioners have difficulty influencing management or operational-related decisions. This research implies that the Directorate General should focus on companies with high related party transactions to indicate that the company is likely to commit tax avoidance. This focus on supervision is considered to be able to increase Indonesia's tax revenue and ratio.

Capital Structure, Financial Performance, and Macroeconomic Conditions: Evidence From Indonesia Stock Exchange

his study aims to analyze the influence of capital structure, financial performance, and macroeconomic conditions on firm value (Tobin's Q) in companies included in the Kompas 100 index (100 companies with good liquidity and large market capitalization) listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2018 and 2022. A total of 50 companies with historical data for 5 years were analyzed amounting to 250 observational data. The data analysis method used is panel data regression analysis processed using Eviews software version 10. The results show that financial performance has a significant positive effect on firm value, and capital structure has a negative but not significant effect on firm value. Among the macroeconomic variables, inflation has a negative influence while interest rates have a positive influence, both of which are significant on firm value. However, GDP growth shows an influence that is not significant towards changes in firm value. The determinants of firm value are very complex thus each company needs to identify the key factors influencing them. It is recommended for further research to include corporate governance and firm growth variables.

The Impact of Educational Conditions on Income Inequality and Economic Growth in South Sumatra

Before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, income inequality and economic growth in South Sumatra experienced fluctuating conditions that could hinder learning and education activities. This study aims to examine the effect of educational conditions, consisting of the average length of school (RLS), literacy rate (AMH), pure participation rate (APM), and percentage of 15+ population of senior high school level (PPTP) on income inequality and economic growth in South Sumatra. Data were obtained from the BPS-Statistics of South Sumatra. The current study implemented panel data regression analysis on cross-sectional data from 16 cities/regencies in South Sumatra and time series 2017–2021. The research findings in the first equation show that RLS has a significant effect on reducing income inequality. AMH, APM, and PPTP do not significantly reduce income inequality. The second equation shows that APM and PPTP have a significant effect on economic growth, while RLS and AMH have no significant effect on economic growth. The influence of education on several of these factors has not reduced income inequality and economic growth caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Apart from that, the APBD’s focus has been redirected to coping with the COVID-19 case; therefore, education has received less attention for this condition. Regional government efforts need to be increased by utilizing school operational assistance for people experiencing poverty and increasing the allocation of education funds above 20% so that compulsory education becomes 12 years. Keywords: COVID-19, economic growth, income inequality, length of school average, pure participation rate
