Abstract: The moderating role of corporate life cycle stages with the impact of relative economic value added (EVA) indicator on corporate social responsibility participation index (CSRPI). Chinese A-share listed companies are investigated. The CSRPI weights are calculated by Analytic Network Process. Fractional regression with interaction is used. The corporate life cycle stages moderate the relationship between relative EVA measure and CSRPI. Surprisingly, this impact is confirmed for companies at non-mature stages, but not for mature companies. Model type, weights and corporate life cycle robustness were confirmed. The findings have implications for stakeholders in understanding companies' social behaviour in the Chinese market.
