[摘要] :
Using samples that contribute to charitable activities through foundation giving in Taiwan, this paper investigates their financial performance and default risk. We show the charitable giving firms have no superior financial performance but lower stock and default risks, indicating shareholders are benefited by philanthropy. It is likely that the favorable reputation reduces the degree of different opinion; shareholders can earn a fair stock return without bearing a respective level of risk. This study also shows the charitable firms have lower volatility on ROA, higher sales per capita, and higher debt ratio, providing empirical evidence to the theoretic propose that philanthropy can enhance customer loyalty, employee morale and allow firms to access external capital easily. We further find the charitable firms tend to be older. The presence of financial advantage, stable income, and employee morale lead to the lower default risk.
