On March 15th, 2022, Theresa Wittreich successfully defended her Doctoral thesis “Welfare Implications of CSR Activities and Their Disclosure in Market Settings” at the University of Graz, supervised by CAR’s Alfred Wagenhofer and Ralf Ewert. Theresa was a DART student for over three years and an active participant in several DART and international seminars. Theresa’s thesis analytically studies firms’ CSR-related incentives in three different settings. First, she studied the effect of responsible consumers on firms’ product market behavior via an imperfect eco-label mechanism. Second, she examined the impact of product market competition on CSR disclosure behavior of firms in the presence of responsible consumers. In the third paper, she studied the impact of socially responsible investors and responsible consumers on a firm's CSR investment decision.
