Abstract
In diesem Beitrag werden die Konsequenzen der Einführung eines Kombilohns für Sozialhilfeempfänger anhand des Vorschlags des Bundesministeriums für Gesundheit untersucht. Nach Erläuterung der sogenannten Sozialhilfefalle werden die Ergebnisse einer mikroökonometrischen Arbeitsangebotsschätzung präsentiert. Es zeigt sich, dass nur sehr bescheidene Beschäftigungserfolge zu erwarten sind, dafür ist mit bedeutenden fiskalischen Risiken für die Sozialhilfeträger zu rechnen.

Abstract
In this paper, we study champions of corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance among the U.S. publicly traded firms and their common characteristics by utilizing machine learning algorithms to identify predictors of firms’ CSR activity. We contribute to the CSR and leadership determinants literature by introducing the first comprehensive framework for analyzing the factors associated with corporate engagement with socially responsible behaviors by grouping all relevant predictors into four broad categories: corporate governance, managerial incentives, leadership, and firm characteristics. We find that strong corporate governance characteristics, as manifested in board member heterogeneity and managerial incentives, are the top predictors of CSR performance. Our results suggest policy implications for providing incentives and fostering characteristics conducive to firms “doing good.”
