ABSTRACT
We explore unethical behaviours involving original sin during the privatized process and their influence on corporate donations in China. We find that enterprises are more actively and deeply engaging in donations when they are guilty of being involved in certain types of misconduct during the privatization process, including downward earnings management, insider trading, and tunnelling, and this phenomenon has particularly significance in regions with lower levels of non-state economic development.
