Tóm tắt

Bài báo này kiểm định tác động của trách nhiệm xã hội doanh nghiệp đối với chi phí sử dụng nợ vay của các doanh nghiệp ở 5 quốc gia thuộc khu vực Đông Nam Á. Sử dụng mẫu nghiên cứu gồm 1.633 quan sát từ năm 2002 đến năm 2018, chúng tôi thấy rằng trách nhiệm xã hội doanh nghiệp có mối quan hệ trái chiều với chi phí sử dụng nợ vay của doanh nghiệp. Kết quả nghiên cứu thì khá chắn chắn với nhiều phương pháp ước lượng như mô hình OLS, mô hình tác động cố định, mô hình hồi quy với biến công cụ. Phân tích sâu hơn cho thấy ảnh hưởng của trách nhiệm xã hội doanh nghiệp đến chi phí sử dụng nợ vay thì đáng kể hơn đối với các doanh nghiệp có thông tin bất cân xứng cao hoặc các công ty có rủi ro hoạt động cao. Nhìn chung, kết quả của nghiên cứu này củng cố thêm bằng chứng lý thuyết rằng hoạt động trách nhiệm với xã hội góp phần giảm thiểu vấn đề đại diện và gia tăng tính minh bạch của doanh nghiệp, từ đó giảm chi phí vay nợ cho doanh nghiệp.
