内容简介:

We investigate how firms balance between labor costs andemployees’social preferences. Exploiting a comprehensive data of freightshipment records, we show that US. firms increase import from the suppliercountry adopting mandatory workforce policy(MWP)that increases laborwelfare more than the counterpart firm-country pairs. This effect is driven by thedemocratic state-headquartered firms, especially those with intensive humancapital and activism for employee welfare, suggesting that employees’ loyaltyto the global community of working class plays a vital role in corporate socialresponsibility. Faced with the inside activism, the marginal benefit of cateringemployees’political interests outweigh the marginal cost ofimport. Consistentwith this notion,we show that the WP-affected importers have increasedratings on employee welfare along with cost increases that are economicallnegligible. Overall, this study sheds light on the formation of the worldwidesocial preferences for labor welfare.
