- W3125648317 abstract "We study corporate philanthropy using an original database that includes firm-level data on dollar giving, giving priorities, governance, and managerial involvement in giving programs. Results provide some support for the theory that giving enhances shareholder value, as firms in the same industry tend to adopt similar giving practices and firms that advertise more intensively also give more to charity. But much of our evidence indicates that agency costs play a prominent role in explaining corporate giving. Firms with larger boards of directors are associated with significantly more cash giving and with the establishment of corporate foundations. Consistent with effective monitoring by creditors, firms with higher debt-to-value ratios give less cash to charities and are less likely to establish foundations. The empirical work considers the impact of industry regulation on giving and controls for state philanthropy laws and fiduciary responsibility laws. *We thank Tom Borcherding, Tyler Cowen, Mark Crain, Dhammika Dharmapala, Gerry Garvey, Lisa Meulbroek, Harold Mulherin, Joshua Rosett, Richard Smith, Gordon Tullock, and seminar participants at the Claremont Colleges and George Mason University for constructive comments on earlier drafts.
