This paper investigates the relationship between corporate participation in China's Targeted Poverty Alleviation (TPA) program and corporate value. It finds that participation in government-initiated CSR, particularly "integrated poverty alleviation," increases corporate value more than corporate-initiated CSR. This is mediated by increased institutional investor shareholding, government subsidies, and improved corporate reputation. The impact is stronger for state-owned enterprises, in less competitive industries, and in regions with higher marketization.
