Investigating the Interactive Effect of Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility on the Firm Value in the Tehran Stock Exchange

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of corporate governance (CG), corporate social responsibility (CSR) and their interactive effect on the value of companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. For this purpose, the data of 194 companies listed on this stock exchange, which was selected using a systematic elimination method, from 2011-2017 were collected and analyzed using the pool data technique. This research is applied and is an analytical-explanatory study. The research findings showed that corporate governance, social responsibility, and the interactive effect of corporate governance and social responsibility have a direct effect on the company's value in all four models of capital asset pricing in the companies listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange. It was also shown in the comparison of models that the market-based, single-factor model explains the relationship between these variables better than other models discussed in this study.
