This study baes on stakeholder theory and probes the relation between the effect of corporate social responsibility on information asymmetry. We predict and find that winner firms at the competition of corporate social performance experienced a decrease in the bid-ask spread post the announcement of evaluation results. We also test whether corporate governance plays an interactive role between the relation of corporate social responsibility and information asymmetry. As a result, our evidence reveals that the decrease in bid-ask spread post the announcements of corporate social responsibility competition is furthered if these winners with better governance mechanisms. This paper thus implies that the efforts into social responsibility are considered more value-relevant if these CSR endeavors are more consistent with firms’ historical behaviors treated their stakeholders more friendly.
