Philanthropic lottery culture and corporate social responsibility: evidence from China
This study examines the effect of philanthropic lottery culture on corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance. Using lottery sales as a proxy for philanthropic lottery culture, we find that regional lottery culture improves CSR performance. Moreover, CSR incentives and CSR investment opportunities constitute the mechanisms underlying this effect.
