This paper examines the effects of pandemic uncertainty on socially responsible investments. We use the overall corporate sustainability performance index in the Sustainable Corporations in the World dataset to measure socially responsible investments. The global pandemic uncertainty is also measured by the World Pandemic Uncertainty Index. We focus on the panel dataset from 2012 to 2020, and the results show that the World Pandemic Uncertainty Index is positively related to socially responsible investments. The main findings remain significant when we utilize various panel estimation techniques.
本文考察了大流行不确定性对社会责任投资的影响。我们使用世界可持续企业数据集（Sustainable Corporations in the World dataset）中的整体企业可持续发展绩效指数（overall corporate sustainability performance index）来衡量社会责任投资。全球大流行不确定性也用世界大流行不确定性指数（World Pandemic Uncertainty Index）来衡量。我们关注的是 2012 年至 2020 年的面板数据集，结果表明，世界大流行不确定性指数与社会责任投资呈正相关。当我们使用各种面板估计技术时，主要发现仍然显著。
