This paper employs the data of corporate social responsibility rating score of A-share listed companies in China from 2009 to 2018 as a sample to verify the impacts of foreign ownership on corporate social responsibility. Furthermore, this paper explores the moderating role of legal institutional distance and economic institutional distance in the impact of foreign ownership on corporate social responsibility. The empirical results of panel data models show that: Firstly, foreign ownership has a significant positive impact on corporate social responsibility. Secondly, legal institutional distance and economic institutional distance have a positive moderating role in the impacts of foreign ownership on corporate social responsibility. The results of propensity score matching, two-stage least squares and alternative variables methods also give strong backing to the above conclusions. Finally, this paper puts forward that China’s listed companies are supposed to make full use of the supervision power of foreign ownership to promote corporate social responsibility.

Moderating Role

Purpose This study aims to investigate the moderating effects of subsidiary size on the association between institutional distance and subsidiary’s access to complementary local assets (ACLA) in a transition economy. Design/methodology/approach The data of 1,027 subsidiaries located in Vietnam were extracted from the survey of General Statistics Office of Vietnam. Hausman’s test shows that random effect model is appropriate to estimate the moderating effects of subsidiary size on the association between the institutional distance and subsidiary’s ACLA. Findings The findings revealed that the greater formal and informal institutional distances between home and host countries, the lower a subsidiary’s ACLA in a transition economy. In addition, larger subsidiaries’ ACLA in a more formal and informal institutional distant country are higher than smaller subsidiaries. Research limitations/implications Multinational enterprise (MNEs) have a continuous need to use their foreign subsidiaries operating in host countries, particularly those with transition economies, to overcome institutional differences to ACLA in a transition economy. In addition, subsidiaries should be invested with greater resources to collaborate with local partners to serve for accessing to complementary local assets in transition economy characterized by an uncertainty institutional environment. Originality/value By integrating the institutional theory and the resource-based view, the study developed a theoretical model about the moderating role of subsidiary size on the association between institutional distance and subsidiary’s ACLA in transition economy. The findings confirmed that simultaneously applying the institutional theory and the resource-based view to investigate location-specific advantages exploitation of subsidiaries is relevant not only in developed economies but also in a transition economies.
