Iya, Magaji and Bawuro (2015) examine the impact of corporate social responsibility expenditure on the performance of First Bank Nigeria Plc covering 2001 to 2014. Data for the study was sourced secondarily, through first bank pamphlets and annual reports. Ordinary Least Square Technique (OLS), Augmented Dickey Fuller Technique (ADF), Breusch-Godfrey serial correlation LM test and Breusch-Pagan-Godfrey Heteroskedasticity test and Pairwise Granger Causality test were employed in the analysis of the data. The results of OLS reveal that increase in corporate social responsibility expenditure raises the performance of First Bank Nigeria Plc. The coefficient of corporate social responsibility expenditure is statistically significant and consistent with the theoretical expectation. The F-statistics value of the study indicates that all the parameters of the model are jointly and statistically significant. The ADF unit root result reveals that all the variables of the model are stationary at 1 per cent and at first difference. The Granger causality result shows that CSR causes the performance of First Bank Nigeria Plc. The serial correlation and heteroskedasticity results reveal that there is no serial correlation and no heteroskedasticity in the data.
