股权分置改革后上市公司股利政策研究

2006年我国股权分置改革基本完成，这种制度变革是否对上市公司2006年的股利政策产生了影响。通过对2006年上市公司股利政策进行统计分析，结果显示2006年上市公司的股利政策具有股利分配形式以现金股利为主、整体分红水平提高不多、异常派现行为减少等特征。在对这些特征进行分析的基础上，提出了应加强现金流量管理和大力发展机构投资者。     

我国煤炭上市公司股利分配政策特点及影响因素分析

以27家煤炭上市公司为对象，分析煤炭上市公司股利分配政策的特点，并对其影响因素进行实证分析，研究表明：煤炭上市公司股利支付倾向于采用现金分红的方式，并趋于多元化；股利支付率5年来维持在20％左右；股利政策的连续性和稳定性相对较好；存在高额派现的情形。股利分配政策与企业的每股收益、非流通股比例和上年现金股利支付额有很大关系，而与企业规模、资本结构、每股经营现金净流量的相关性不大。

从上市公司分配方案看股利政策的特点

生产决定分配,分配反作用生产,这是经济学的一个基本理论。上市公司确定股东的收益分配方案即股利政策,会对投资者的投资决策起着重要的作用。因此,上市公司在确定股利政策时,往往会权衡所定的股利政策能否保证公司的效益增长与股本扩张同步,短期内是否会对股价造成影响,以及税收政策对股利分配的影响等等。一、我国上市公司采用的股利分配类型分析———利润以现金方式分配这是一种最直观的股利分配。它不扩大股本,只要公司有足够的现金支付能力就可实施。同时这种分配方式不会造成公司下一年度因净利润增长与股本扩大不同步而降低…

Dividend Policies and Dividend Announcement Effects for Real Estate Investment Trusts

Previous research on real estate investment trusts (REITs) assumes that their dividend policies are determined solely by tax regulations. We observe, however, that REITs often pay out more dividends than are required by tax rules. This paper examines the dividend policies of REITs by drawing inferences from agency-cost theory and tests for the determinants of REIT dividend payout ratios. The study also considers whether the stock market responds differently to the dividend announcement effects of equity and mortgage REITs based on asymmetric information. Our results support agency-cost explanations for dividend policy and suggest a differential announcement effect.     

Dividend Policy and Cash-Flow Uncertainty

We explore the role of expected cash-flow volatility as a determinant of dividend policy both theoretically and empirically. Our simple one-period model demonstrates that, given the existence of a stock-price penalty associated with dividend cuts, managers rationally pay out lower levels of dividends when future cash flows are less certain. The empirical results use a sample of REITs from 1985 to 1992 and confirm that payout ratios are lower for firms with higher expected cash-flow volatility as measured by leverage, size and property-level diversification. These results are consistent with information-based explanations of dividend policy but not with agency-cost theories.     

Dividend Pricing Models and REITs

Dividend pricing/present value models relate current stock prices to expectations of future dividends. In this study we apply the West and Campbell–Shiller tests of the dividend pricing relation to an index of real estate investment trusts (REITs). REITs provide a unique test of these models since, during our study period, REITs were mandated to pay out at least 95% of taxable income as dividends. While our results complement previous research which finds that the dividend pricing model cannot be rejected if share repurchase is included as part of dividends, our data contain a much less significant amount of share repurchase, so that our approach to the issue of the viability of dividend pricing models offers an alternative insight. Our research suggests that, for our REIT population, dividend pricing models cannot be rejected.     

REIT Dividend Policies and Dividend Announcement Effects During the 2008–2009 Liquidity Crisis

Real estate investment trust (REIT) dividend policies and dividend announcement effects during the 2008–2009 liquidity crisis are examined. Multinomial logit results indicate that REITs with higher market leverage or lower market‐to‐book ratios are more likely to cut dividends, suspend dividends or pay elective stock dividends. These results imply that mitigating going‐concern risk is an important motive for REITs adjusting dividend policies during the crisis and support dividend catering theory where investor demand for dividends impacts corporate dividend policies. Moreover, REITs that cut or suspend dividends experience positive cumulative abnormal returns during the post‐announcement period after controlling for the potential influence from simultaneous funds from operation announcements. The positive market response over the post‐announcement period supports the notion that dividend decisions convey information to investors and is also consistent with the broad catering theory of dividend policy.     

An Examination of REIT Dividend Payout Policy

This paper proposes a new methodology for decomposing real estate investment trust (REIT) dividends into discretionary and nondiscretionary components. By examining the tax characteristics of dividends, I am able to accurately measure the discretionary component of a REIT's dividend. This methodology provides new insights into our understanding of REIT dividend payout policy. Unlike previous studies that find limited explanations for discretionary dividend payouts, I find a systematic explanation. Discretionary dividends tend to be large on average making up between 18% and 35% of a REIT's total dividend and display considerable variation through time and across firms. The main determinant of these discretionary dividends appears to be dividend smoothing. There is an inverse relationship between discretionary and nondiscretionary dividends. Even if a REIT has excess cash flow it could distribute in discretionary dividends, it will tend not to do so if it has a high dividend payout due to its nondiscretionary dividends. In this sense, REITs appear to use discretionary dividends to smooth their payout ratios.     

埃克森美孚石油公司股利政策研究

公司的股利政策已从原始的利润分配活动,上升为以维持和促进公司市场价值为目标、充分协调股东利益和公司发展的重要手段.考察分析埃克森美孚石油公司1994～2004年的股利分配政策可以发现：该公司保持每股现金股利稳定增长,而不是维持稳定的股利支付率;其现金股利变动与利润变劝存在相关性,但前者的变动程度较后者平缓得多;公司从不削减每股现金股利,但会根据利润变化调整股利增长率;公司不曾发放股票股利,而是通过股票分割达到相同目的;在稳定的现金股利政策下,公司充分利用股票回购方式达到向股东返还现金的目的;将股权自由现金流的较大比例返还给股东,同时保持一定的财务弹性.文章用顾客效应理论、信号效应理论以及代理成本理论三个股利理论对以上股利政策进行了理论解释,并指出,中国的石油公司在股利政策的制定方面,迫切需要以科学、系统和实用的理论及实践经验作指导.     

The Ex–Dividend Pricing of REITs

Past studies have shown that ex–dividend stock prices are not fully reflective of dividend payments. A tax–induced clientele effect and micromarket limitations in stock pricing have been used to explain this pricing anomaly. This study focuses on the ex–dividend behavior of real estate investment trusts (REITs). Due to a low correlation between dividend size and dividend yield, REITs permit a cleaner examination of a tax–induced clientele effect. The results indicate that tick constraints in pricing ex–dividend stocks create the appearance of a tax–induced clientele effect in REITs when none should exist.     

REIT Dividend Determinants: Excess Dividends and Capital Markets

The determinants of excess dividend payments above mandatory requirements in real estate investment trusts (REITs) are evaluated. Payment of excess dividends is related to factors associated with reduced agency costs, strong operating performance, the implementation of a stock repurchase plan and an ability to access short-term bank debt. Recognizing that access to external capital is essential for long-term growth, REITs manage dividend policy to allow for capital acquisition in the form of both equity and debt. The acquisition and use of short-term bank debt provides REIT management flexibility in determining dividend policy.
