Social Movements and Corporate Opportunities

该奖项资助了三个研究社会运动如何影响公司业绩的项目。目标是更好地了解社会运动如何不仅影响目标组织，而且影响生产目标组织使用的投入的其他公司。第一个项目将收集和传播关于可能受到社会运动活动影响的所有公司的大量创新数据。第二个项目使用该数据集来分析社会运动如何影响这些公司的生产，利润和股票价格，而第三个项目将使用调查数据来试图了解活动群众运动影响公司绩效的机制。通过提供社会运动对经济，司法和执法支出的影响的经验证据，这项研究提供了一个方法论模板，用于衡量执法暴力在美国的成本。此外，该奖项还旨在培养研究生掌握前沿研究方法和跨学科研究方法。该奖项资助一项研究项目，该项目结合观察数据、自然实验和调查，探讨社会运动对企业行为和结果的影响。本研究共分三个部分。首先，研究小组构建了一个新的公司数据集，这些公司与可能成为这些社会运动目标的组织签订了合同。 其次，研究人员将使用这些详细的数据集和几种方法来研究社会运动对这些公司业绩的影响，重点是它们的产量，盈利能力和股票市场估值。最后，研究人员调查了影响政策的专家，以了解社会运动活动影响目标组织以及为其提供投入的企业的机制。 我们项目的结果提供了重要的洞察组织景观和企业与执法之间的相互作用的性质。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

This award funds three projects that investigate how social movements impact firm performance. The goal is better understanding of how social movements affect not just the targeted organization/s but also other firms that produce inputs that the targeted organizations use. The first project will collect and disseminate a large and innovative data on all firms that are likely to be affected by the activities of social movements. The second project uses this dataset to analyze how social movements affects the production, profits, and stock prices of these firms while the third project will use survey data to try to understand the mechanisms through which the activities mass movements affect firm performance. By offering empirical evidence on the effects of social movements on the economy, justice, and law enforcement spending, this research provides a methodological template for measuring the cost of law enforcement violence in the United States. Additionally, it aims to train graduate students in cutting-edge research methods and interdisciplinary approaches to studying issues.This award funds a research project that combines observational data, natural experiments, and surveys to explore the impact of social movements on firms’ behavior and outcomes. The proposed research consists of three parts. First, the research team constructs a novel dataset of firms that have contracts with organizations that may the targets of these social movements. Second, the researchers will use this detailed data set and several methodologies to study the impacts of social movement agitation on the performance of these firms with a focus on their output, profitability, and stock market valuations. Finally, the researchers survey experts who influence policies to understand the mechanisms through which the activities of social movements influence the targeted organizations as well as businesses that supply them with inputs. The results of our project provide crucial insights into the organizational landscape and the nature of interactions between firms and law enforcement.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
