Abstract
The present work aimed to examine the association between Corporate Social performance (CSP) and corporate financial performance (CFP) taking into account corporate social irresponsibility. Here, we used a sample of French non-financial firms listed on SBF 120 between 2011 and 2016. Our findings provided evidence that corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate social irresponsibility (CSI) exert opposite effects on the CFP. Using an estimation of the vector autoregressive (VAR) model for panel data, we showed that the CSI has a greater and more lasting impact on CFP than CSR.Keywords
