Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to examine the influence of corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance and financial institution ownership on the cost of capital for companies in the tourism and hospitality industry at ASEAN-5. A balanced panel data of 594 firm-year observations from 2014-2019 in ASEAN-5. CSR performance data results from content analysis in the annual reports of ninety-nine companies. The WACC is the proxy for the cost of capital. The research framework applies the weighted least square of panel effect regression. The statistical results indicate that CSR performance raises the cost of capital while financial institution ownership diminishes. Also, environment and human rights disclosures are components of CSR disclosures that reduce the cost of capital. The results are limited to the tourism and hospitality industry of ASEAN-5. Future studies may consider using other than KLD to measure CSR. Besides, this study only focuses on financial institution ownership. Future studies can examine other types of ownership, such as managerial and government ownership. This research is the first to examine CSR and Financial Institution Ownership's role in the cost of capital in the tourism and hospitality industry within the 5 ASEAN countries.

Um painel de dados balanceado de 594 observações de empresas-ano de 2014-2019 na ASEAN-5. Os dados de desempenho de RSE resultam da análise de conteúdo nos relatórios anuais de 99 empresas. O WACC é a proxy para o custo de capital. A estrutura de pesquisa é examinada usando o mínimo quadrado ponderado da regressão de efeito de painel. Os resultados estatísticos indicam que o desempenho da RSC aumenta o custo de capital, enquanto a propriedade da instituição financeira institucional diminui. Além disso, as divulgações ambientais e de direitos humanos são componentes das divulgações de RSE que reduzem o custo de capital. Os resultados são limitados à indústria de turismo e hotelaria da ASEAN-5. Estudos futuros podem considerar o uso de outros métodos além do KLD para medir o CSR. Além disso, este estudo se concentra apenas na propriedade de instituições financeiras institucionais. Estudos futuros podem examinar outros tipos de propriedade, como a propriedade gerencial e governamental. Esta pesquisa é a primeira a examinar o papel da CSR e da Propriedade de Instituições Financeiras Institucionais no custo de capital no setor de turismo e hospitalidade nos 5 países da ASEAN.
