Compliance with social and environmental responsibilities is one of the requirements of the current competitive era, and the competitiveness pressure of companies in this situation imposes costs on companies that can affect the company's financial performance. In this research, the moderating role of competitive strength in the relation between social and environmental responsibilities with financial performance has been investigated. The statistical sample of this research is the companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange between 2016 and 2021. By regular screening method, 108 companies have been selected as samples. After checking the classical assumptions of regression, the panel data model with fixed effects has been used. The results showed that social performance has a positive relation with financial performance. The competition strength has a negative moderating role in the relation between social performance with financial performance. Environmental performance has a positive relation with financial performance, and the competition strength has a negative moderating role in this relation. According to the coefficients of variables, the social dimension of the company is more effective in increasing performance than the environmental dimension.

In this study, the impact of CEO’s overconfidence on the relationship between cash holding and excess returns is investigated in companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange during the years 2011-2018. For CEO’s overconfidence, overinvestment in assets, and for excess returns, the difference between a firm’s stock return and the return of the firm’s benchmark portfolio over the same period is used. By systematic sampling, a sample of 157 companies is selected, and the models have run based on panel data with fixed effects. The results have shown that (1) cash holding has a positive and significant impact on excess returns, (2) CEO’s overconfidence has a negative and significant impact on excess returns, and lastly, (3) CEO’s overconfidence has a negative and significant impact on the relationship between cash holdings and the excess returns. With increasing CEO’s overconfidence, the excess returns will be reduced. Overconfident managers keep cash at a higher level that leads to overinvestment. It consequently decreases excess returns.
