Corporate involvement with social responsibility (CSR) is a voluntary practice. However, governments have recently adopted a more supportive stance by providing research and development support and tax exemptions. Therefore, this study examines the role of government subsidies (Sub) in CSR, considering the amount and number of subsidies and the type of industry in a competitive business environment. The paper establishes theoretical linkages through the construction of an oligopolistic market model of private enterprises based on industrial organisation theory's structure–conduct–performance (SCP) paradigm. Moreover, our study tests the empirical relationship using a dataset of 100 listed companies in Pakistan observed from 2011 to 2019 using robust standard error methodologies and a fixed effects IV estimator. The results show that government subsidies significantly promote private enterprises to actively fulfil their social responsibilities, and product market competition plays an intermediary role that endorses the theoretical proposition. This effect is visible at all stages of the enterprise's life cycle. Additionally, the relationship is more prominent in the case of low- and medium-sized government subsidies, competitive industries, and firms with no political connections. The results further reveal that product market competition is the primary channel through which government subsidies influence CSR. Concurrently, optimising the allocation of financial resources has specific significance.

竞争环境下政府补贴对民营企业社会责任的影响

企业参与社会责任 (CSR) 是一种自愿行为。然而,政府最近通过提供研发支持和免税采取了更加支持的立场。因此,本研究考察了政府补贴(Sub)在企业社会责任中的作用,考虑了补贴的数量和数量以及竞争激烈的商业环境中的行业类型。本文基于产业组织理论的结构-行为-绩效(SCP)范式,通过构建民营企业寡头垄断市场模型,建立理论联系。此外,我们的研究使用稳健的标准误差方法和固定效应 IV 估计量,使用 2011 年至 2019 年观察到的巴基斯坦 100 家上市公司的数据集来测试经验关系。结果表明,政府补贴显着促进了民营企业积极履行社会责任,产品市场竞争起到了支持理论命题的中介作用。这种影响在企业生命周期的所有阶段都是可见的。此外,在中低规模的政府补贴、竞争性行业和没有政治联系的公司的情况下,这种关系更为突出。结果进一步表明,产品市场竞争是政府补贴影响企业社会责任的主要渠道。同时,优化财政资源配置具有特殊意义。产品市场竞争起到了支持理论命题的中介作用。这种影响在企业生命周期的所有阶段都是可见的。此外,在中低规模的政府补贴、竞争性行业和没有政治联系的公司的情况下,这种关系更为突出。结果进一步表明,产品市场竞争是政府补贴影响企业社会责任的主要渠道。同时,优化财政资源配置具有特殊意义。产品市场竞争起到了支持理论命题的中介作用。这种影响在企业生命周期的所有阶段都是可见的。此外,在中低规模的政府补贴、竞争性行业和没有政治联系的公司的情况下,这种关系更为突出。结果进一步表明,产品市场竞争是政府补贴影响企业社会责任的主要渠道。同时,优化财政资源配置具有特殊意义。和没有政治关系的公司。结果进一步表明,产品市场竞争是政府补贴影响企业社会责任的主要渠道。同时,优化财政资源配置具有特殊意义。和没有政治关系的公司。结果进一步表明,产品市场竞争是政府补贴影响企业社会责任的主要渠道。同时,优化财政资源配置具有特殊意义。
