Resultat: Undersökningarna visar att företag med hög CSR-bedömning har högre finansiell prestation. Detta visar att det finns ett positivt samband mellan CSR och finansiellt värde. Resultaten visar även att hög CSR-bedömning i genomsnitt leder till mindre kapitalbegränsningar. Vi har här observerat att ökad medvetenhet bland investerare samt minskade marknadsfriktioner resulterar i bättre tillgångConclusion: Empirical tests show that firms with high CSR-performance also have a higher financial performance. This indicates a positive relationship between CSR and financial value creation. Additionally, the results confirm a negative relationship between CSR performance and capital constraints. An increase in demand for socially responsible investments and a decrease in market frictions are he

Recently, techniques have been developed and increasingly used that allow simultaneous recordings of the activity from a large number of neurons over time ranges as long as several weeks. At Neuronano Research Center (NRC) at Lund University, neural activity in rodents has been recorded using chroni
