Competition and ESG practices in emerging markets: Evidence from a difference-in-differences model
Abstract:
This paper investigates how competition affects firms' environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices in 22 emerging markets, using a sample of 6,906 firm-year observations from 2011 to 2019.

I am working on a research project that aims to understand the antecedents and consequences of Corporate ESG.
Eventually, I came up with the graph below.
This graph did not make much sense to me since ESG is a hot topic and, I believe, no one would expect that Brazilian firms decreased ESG practices over the last decade.
