This study discusses how corporate social responsibility (CSR) affects firm’s cost of capital in Taiwan advantage technology industry including semiconductor and photoelectric industry in the Taiwan Stock Market with different ownership structure. We match sample by propensity matching method and analyze the relationship between corporate social performance (CSP) and the cost of capital. Our results show the CSP has negative significant effects with cost of capital under family-owned companies, but no significant effects with non-family-owned companies.
