The intrinsic motivation of a firm''s management for engaging in pro-social behavior is an important determinant of a firm''s social conduct. I provide the first model in which firms run by morally-motivated managers engage in corporate social responsibility (CSR) in a competitive setting. CSR induced by moral management crowds out a competitor''s strategic CSR, increasing profitability and leading shareholders to strategically delegate moral managers. Firms run by moral managers can engage in a socially-excessive amount of CSR, and shareholders appoint such managers if and only if moral management is sufficiently effective at crowding out a competitor''s strategic CSR.

An eerie town on the edge of a forest hides a desperate secret, and the two heroes set out with all the enthusiasm of a Golden Retriever (and about a tenth of the brain capacity) to solve the mystery.

Suitable for teenagers and above.
