This study discusses about how the firms who take corporate social responsibility into account can affect government’s optimal decision of pollution tax. There will be two environments to be analyzed, namely in the monopoly and foreign direct investment. In monopoly market, the more CSR the domestic firm is aware of, the lower the optimal pollution tax is. However, when foreign firm is allowed to invest directly in domestic country, the result is opposite.
Our results show that if the market scale is large enough, the government tends to open the market, and agrees foreign firm to do FDI; but if the market scale is not large, then the firm of different level concern of CSR will lead to different results. For instance, when domestic firm starts to emphasize more on CSR, the local government tends to open the market for FDI. Nevertheless, the foreign firm cannot afford the pollution tax when it gets too high. Thus, the government will have no choice but to set the prohibition tax, then the domestic firm monopolize the market. Only when the domestic firm shows less concern about CSR, with the foreign firm highly concerning CSR, and the difference between their awareness is big enough, then the government can set a pollution tax which makes domestic firm monopolize the market. |
