摘要：We posit that more managerial hedging opportunities and lower career concerns induced by active options trading provide stronger managerial incentives to implement corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies. We find that firms with more options trading tend to have better CSR performance. This effect can be attributed to several channels, including product market competition, takeover exposure, reputation and goodwill, CEO career horizon, and pay-risk sensitivity. We find consistent results using a quasi-natural experiment that reduces options trading costs of treated firms. Insider hedging transactions also corroborate our findings. Overall, active derivative markets have real effects on shaping firms’ CSR strategies.
