Not bad, Chris! I forgot to post that I expected reports with the opposite conclusion to at least be available from Berkeley, but Stanford is close enough ;)

With that said, maybe you could elaborate on how the 250 sample corporations tested in your Stanford report were picked. It's my understanding that they were actually chosen by Jensen and Murphy back in the eighties and even before that.

Here is how the choice of corporations tested by "my" guys was made:

Data collection began with the firms listed in the Kinder, Lydenburg, Domini & Co.’s "The Corporate Social Ratings Monitor" for the period 1992 through 1996. We selected those firms listed for all five years. Data on CEO compensation were collected from Business Week and Forbes magazines’ annual surveys. Financial information was collected from COMPUSTAT and the Stern Steward Performance 1000 Report. Data were collected for three time periods: 1992, 1994 and 1996. Complete data were available for 203 firms across 53 industries. Owing to the nature of the question there was less concern for creating a homogeneous data set, and more for establishing the generalizability of the findings (McGrath, Martin & Kulka, 1982).

Seems unbiased and reasonable enough to me at least.

Other than that the methodology seems to be pretty much the same, whereas the method used for the composition of strata in the Stanford work relies entirely on work done and choices of same made by others back in the 80s.
Nice student work though. Builds on tradition, modified conclusions: Tempus mutantur et nos in illis.
