While evidence from frontier economies tends towards a positive ESG – CFP connotation, the phenomenon is yet scarcely investigated in emerging markets, especially within the Asian context. To address this research gap, ten linear models based on 3,270 observations from 327 firms headquartered in China, India, Indonesia, Republic of Korea (S. Korea), Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, and Thailand from 2012 to 2021 were subject to this thesis. The results indicate a significant positive relationship between ESG and financial return as well as firm value, both complementary to an approximation of overall financial performance. Observed effects were particularly vigorous for social aspects, which is in line with Asian companies’ age-old tradition of giving back to the community. Moreover, the empirical analysis provides evidence for a significant positive moderating effect of financial slack on the ESG – CFP link, suggesting both stakeholder theory and slack resources act simultaneously and reinforcingly resulting in a virtuous cycle. 參考文獻 Aguilera-Caracuel, J., Guerrero-Villegas, J., Vidal-Salazar, M.

While evidence from frontier economies tends towards a positive ESG – CFP connotation, the phenomenon is yet scarcely investigated in emerging markets, especially within the Asian context. To address this research gap, ten linear models based on 3,270 observations from 327 firms headquartered in China, India, Indonesia, Republic of Korea (S. Korea), Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, and Thailand from 2012 to 2021 were subject to this thesis. The results indicate a significant positive relationship between ESG and financial return as well as firm value, both complementary to an approximation of overall financial performance. Observed effects were particularly vigorous for social aspects, which is in line with Asian companies’ age-old tradition of giving back to the community. Moreover, the empirical analysis provides evidence for a significant positive moderating effect of financial slack on the ESG – CFP link, suggesting both stakeholder theory and slack resources act simultaneously and reinforcingly resulting in a virtuous cycle. en_US dc.description.tableofcontents Acknowledgements i Abstract ii List of Figures vi List of Tables vii List of Abbreviations viii Keywords ix 1.
