“…However, it is also important to note that rms are not completely passive in this process, but have some subjective initiative. Firms will pursue different goals and interests and make contingency strategic decisions depending on the state of the institutional environment (Chan & Feng, 2019;Liu et al 2021;Deng & Yuan, 2021;Shen et al 2020). This provides a theoretical analytical framework for exploring the impact of o cer turnover on corporate ESG.…”

“…Institutional theory emphasizes the in uence of the institutional environment on rm behavior and considers institutional change to be an important cause of the complexity of the business environment (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983). As important shapers of the regional institutional environment, turnover of local governing o cials constitutes a key factor in institutional environment changes (Chan & Feng, 2019;Liu et al, 2021), and it has been investigated in the literature that o cials' turnover lead to policy disruptions (Lin et al, 2015;Zhong et al, 2019;An et al, 2016) as well as elevated uncertainty in the economic environment (Chen et al 2020; Yu & Mai, 2020), which leads to elevated corporate systemic risk. On the other hand, the turnover of o cial power also implies a change in political ecology (Ni, 2019; Chen & Gao, 2020) and a reshaping of the legitimacy system (Yu et al, 2020;Lu, 2021;Dong et al, 2022), leading to a redistribution of political resources and giving rms the opportunity to seek development.…”

In recent years, environmental, social, governance (ESG) have gradually received widespread attention.However, few studies have focused on the impact of situational factors on corporate ESG practice decisions. Based on this, this paper analyzes a sample of 9428 observations of Chinese A-share listed rms during the period 2009-2019 in an attempt to explore the impact of local o cials' turnover on corporate ESG practices, and analyze the boundary effects of this impact at three levels: regional, industry, and corporate. Our results suggest that: (1) Turnover of local o cials can lead to changes in economic policies and reallocation of political resources, which can stimulate companies' "risk aversion motive" and "development motive" and thus promote their ESG practices; (2) This effect will be enhanced by the high level of government intervention, the high level of competition in the industry, and the private sector. (3) Further test nds that turnover of local o cials can have a signi cant impact on corporate ESG only when the o cials are abnormal turnover and when the regional economic development is good in the current period. This paper enriches research related to decision-making scenarios of corporate ESG practices from a macro-institutional perspective.

In contexts with high-income inequality, are people more or less inclined to support those in need through philanthropy? Using data from the 2016 wave of the China Labor-Force Dynamics Study, this study examines (i) how income inequality is associated with charitable giving to high-redistributive (e.g., poverty alleviation) and low-redistributive (e.g., arts and culture) causes and (ii) the household and contextual level variation for this relationship. We conduct this study in the unique context of China, where the Communist Party and Chinese government actively encourage charitable giving to play a role in diminishing income inequality. Empirical results show that in China, income inequality has no significant relationship with charitable giving to high-redistributive causes. We do find some support for a small moderating effect of education. Those with a higher level of education living in provinces with higher income inequality give more to high-distributive causes. We also find support for a small negative association with charitable giving to low-redistributive causes, which indicates that people in a context with higher income inequality are less inclined, although not substantially, to give to low-redistributive causes.
