A growing number of researchers are attempting to examine the various drivers of corporate social performance. Yet, research in an emerging market context remains limited. This thesis aims to contribute to the literature by integrating the concept of slack resources and the institutional perspective. Since emerging markets differ significantly from developed markets due to their weak institutional environment and resource scarcity, they are not always motivated to behave socially. In this thesis it is argued that the regulatory environment and higher levels of international exposure can encourage companies to commit resources to CSP. Using a panel dataset of1378 publicly listed companies from both emerging and developed markets for the period of 2014-2018, it can be concluded that slack resources have a negative impact on CSP for EM-MNEs. Results show international exposure positively affect de relationship between slack and CSP, but no statistical support is found for the increasing regulatory environment.

This research investigates the effect of foreign direct investments and export on the capital structure of companies in emerging economies. Based on the agency theory, various hypotheses are tested on a dataset of 2049 South Korean listed companies. Regression analysis reveals that multinationals employ a higher long term degree of debt than domestic companies do. Additionally, a negative correlation is discovered between foreign direct investments and degree of debt, contradictory to findings in other research regarding multinationals in emerging economies. The degree in which a company does export will lead to a lower degree of debt. Finally, the interaction-effect between degree of direct foreign investments and the export is investigated on the capital structure of multinationals, leading to the conclusion that the impact is not significant. This indicates that the costs for creditors connected to agency costs will rise significantly when the company processes increase in complexity.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of location factors on the level of abnormal returns of acquisitions. 74 acquisitions between 2000 and 2017 were used in order to get results on this question. These acquisitions were cross border acquisitions made by American companies. Both acquiring and target company belong to one major sector (chemicals, rubber, plastics, non-metallic products). This paper examines five different location factors, which could have an influence on the abnormal returns. These location factors are: unemployment rate, level of education, gross domestic product, quality of trade and transport-related infrastructure and the effective corporate tax rates of a country. The results stated that two location factors have a significant effect on the abnormal returns. The abnormal returns during the announcement of an acquisition would increase thanks to the unemployment and the level of education of a specific country.
