Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to examine corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices of SIN firms. SIN firms are firms from controversial sectors such as tobacco, alcohol, gambling and firearms.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper explains contrasts CSR practices of SIN firms with similar size and industry non-SIN counterparts.

Findings

This paper shows that SIN firms conduct more CSR practices than non-SIN firms. This paper also finds that CSR practices of SIN firms are value relevant only when these firms are performing below their peers.

Originality/value

The motivation for SIN firms to engage in higher CSR is the competitive advantage hypothesis and not moral rebalancing.

Abstract

The paper investigates whether stock liquidity of firms is valued by lending banks revealing that firms with higher liquidity in the capital market pay lower spreads for the loans they obtain. This relationship is causal as evidenced by using the decimalization of tick size as an exogenous shock-to-stock liquidity in a difference-in-differences setting. Reduction in financial constraint and improvement in corporate governance induced by higher stock liquidity are potential mechanisms through which liquidity impacts loan spreads. These higher liquidity firms also receive less stringent nonprice loan terms, for example, longer loan maturity and less required collateral.
