基于经济波动的控股股东与股利政策关系研究——来自中国证券市场的经验证据

文章考察了控股股东和经济波动对上市公司股利政策的影响.结果表明,从控股股东的角度来看,第一大股东持股比例越高,公司越愿意支付股利,尤其是现金股利.当考虑了经济波动的影响时我们发现,在经济下降期,公司不再愿意支付股利,即使支付股利,公司也偏向于支付股票股利.此外,不同股权性质的公司在经济波动期的股利政策也不一样.在经济下降期,非国有控股公司第一大股东比例越高,股票股利支付数量越少,现金股利支付数量越多,但是,国有控股公司这种变化并不显著,说明相对于国有控股公司,非国有企业的股利政策更容易受到经济波动的影响.     

股票股利与价值重估:信号、流动性改善还是价格幻觉?

笔者利用沪深交易所2005年开始推行的业绩快报制度分离上市公司盈余信息和股利分配信息,重新研究了A股股票股利的市场反应,并采用信号假设和流动性假设对其内在原因进行了探究.研究结果发现市场在已预期盈余信息的情况下,仍然对股票股利存在正面反应.与以往研究不同的是,本文发现发放股票股利的上市公司在未来二到四个季度仍能保持盈余增长,因此信号假设可以较好地解释股票股利的市场反应;而股票股利虽然能显著提高小额交易者的活跃程度,但大部分流动性指标并没有显著改善,因此流动性假设对A股不太适用.     

中国股市现金股利悖论研究

现金股利悖论指现金股利增加或降低都可能增加代理成本,从而损害中小投资者利益.现金股利能保护中小投资者利益是国内外流行的观点.文章在考虑我国存在高比例非流通股的事实下,从代理成本角度对我国现金股利与中小投资者利益关系进行了系统的理论分析,提出了"现金股利悖论",并得出三条推论:股权越集中的公司,现金股利支付率越高;国有股股东比法人股股东更偏好现金股利;现金股利支付极不稳定.但对三条推论的检验结果表明,在未考虑其他影响因素时国有股股东与法人股股东对现金股利的偏好并无显著差别.增加现金股利的一刀切的做法并不可取.要解决现金股利的两难处境,前提是股票全流通.     

我国金融行业上市公司现金股利政策对企业价值的影响研究

本文主要研究了现金股利政策与企业价值间的关系,结合金融业上市公司现金股利分配能力,选取了2010-2014年沪深A股41家金融行业上市公司作为样本,分别研究目前的股利分配状况以及现金股利支付水平对企业价值的影响,并进行一元回归分析,经过验证可知现金股利发放与企业价值间不具备完全的直接关联.最后根据国内上市公司现金股利分配现状与回归研究成果,指出现金股利对企业价值没有显著影响的原因以及投资者在做出决策时应该考虑的因素.     

试论证券投资基金业绩评价方法的局限及改进

<正> 一、传统的基金评价方法及局限性 1.单一的以基金投资回报率作为基金业绩衡量标准及局限性。基金的总投资回报率是指基金每年投资的各种收益(包括股票股利、债券利息、再投资利息及资本利得)与基金年初净资产的比值,常以百分数表示。一般来说,各国的有关法律都有规定,基金每年至少公布一次基金的“业绩报告”,这种报告中均包含了该基金当年度各种收益、费用等重要信息,通过对这些信息的分析、整理,是不难计算出基金的当年总回报率的,     

现金股利与大股东现金流操控关系研究

上市公司分派现金股利是股东从公司获利的方式之一.本文以2004-2006年房地产行业、批发零售业和综合类行业的中国上市公司为研究对象,采用分类统计和多元回归方法,研究现金股利政策实施的影响因素和产生的现金流后果.结果发现第一大股东持股比例显著影响公司现金股利政策;并存在"超能力派现"现象,即公司派现后未分配利润和现金流量净额小于零,说明大股东通过现金股利分派转移了公司现金流.     

我国上市公司现金股利政策的影响因素之实证研究

股利政策(Dividend policy)是股份公司关于是否发放股利、发放多少以及何时发放的方针和政策.它是现代公司理财活动的三大核心内容之一,股利政策从狭义方面来说就是指探讨保留盈余和普通股股利支付的比例关系问题,即股利支付率的确定.所以股利支付率的确定又是股利政策的核心,在公司财务管理中占有重要位置.股利政策的发放种类有现金股利、股票股利、股票回购以及股票分割.这篇文章主要是探讨什么因素影响了公司的现金股利.     

股利分配动因与股利决策——基于上市公司股利分配决策的实证分析

股利政策对公司价值的影响、信号传递效应、股东财富效应3种股利分配动因与股利决策存在显著的正相关关系．降低代理成本效应对股利决策影响不显著。上市公司管理层股利决策的动因在于通过股利分配政策影响股票价格．传递公司盈利能力和发展前景的内部信息,帮助投资者实现超额收益．增加股东财富。而降低代理成本并不是他们分配股利的目的。     

控制结构、法律保护与股利政策——对香港本地公司和内地A股上市公司的比较研究

控制结构和法律保护环境对上市公司现金股利政策均有影响。内地和香港两地的上市公司在股利政策方面存在差异。实证研究结果表明,具有多数制衡控制结构的公司股利支付水平较高;香港本地公司股利支付水平显著地高于内地A股公司,红筹股和H股公司股利支付水平介于香港本地公司和A股公司之间;在各种控制结构下,香港本地公司股利支付水平高于内地上市公司。香港市场上中资公司在股利政策方面同时受到两地因素的影响。     

媒体关注与公司现金股利支付*

随着中国证监会针对上市公司现金股利支付行为的一系列政策的出台,公司的现金股利支付行为成为广受热议的重点话题。本文从媒体关注视角研究了中国上市公司的现金股利支付行为。通过实证研究,本文得到如下研究结论：（1）媒体关注的增多可以显著提高公司未来股利支付意愿和支付水平;（2）媒体关注与“铁公鸡”公司、“微股利”公司的比例显著负相关;（3）与国有控股公司相比,媒体关注对民营控股公司未来股利支付意愿和支付水平的正面影响更为显著;（4）媒体关注对第一类和第二类代理问题更严重的公司的现金股利支付意愿和支付水平的正向影响更强。进一步的研究还显示,媒体关注与现金股利支付意愿和支付水平的正相关关系在管理层持股比例低、非国际四大会计师事务所审计、分析师跟踪少的公司样本中更显著。以上结论说明媒体关注是除行政治理外,另外一种督促上市公司支付现金股利的重要机制。本文除了具有丰富媒体治理和股利政策两方面理论研究的贡献外,对监管机构规范资本市场股利支付行为和保护投资者权益具有重要政策启示。     

Pleasure and belief in Hume's Decision Process

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to introduce explicitly pleasure and belief in what aims at being a Humean theory of decision, like the one developed in Diaye and Lapidus (2005a). Although we support the idea that Hume was in some way a hedonist – evidently different from Bentham's or Jevons' way – we lay emphasis less on continuity than on the specific kind of hedonism encountered in Hume's writings (chiefly the Treatise, the second Enquiry, the Dissertation, or some of his Essays). Such hedonism clearly contrasts to its standard modern inheritance, expressed by the relation between preferences and utility.

The reason for such a difference with the usual approach lies in the mental process that Hume puts to the fore in order to explain the way pleasure determines desires and volition. Whereas pleasure is primarily, in Hume's words, an impression of sensation, it takes place in the birth of passions as reflecting an idea of pleasure, whose “force and vivacity” is precisely a “belief”, transferred to the direct passions of desire or volition that come immediately before action. As a result, from a Humean point of view, “belief” deals with decision under risk or uncertainty, as well as with intertemporal decision and indiscrimination problems.

The latter are explored within a formal framework, and it is shown that the relation of pleasure is transformed by belief into a non-empty class of relations of desire, among which at least one is a preorder.     

Globalization,Neoliberalism and the attack on social security

Neoliberal political movements advocate privatization of public pension systems. Globalization imposes pressure on nations to conform to neoliberal policy views with respect to the design and structure of social insurance, including public pension systems. The paper begins with an investigation of the economic, ethical and ideological dimensions of the privatization debates in the U.S.; it argues that privatization advocates may be largely moved by ideology, since the other reasons advanced appear weak or unfounded. The second part discusses the history of Social Security, the purposes for its creation, and some of its economic effects. Differences between public and private pension systems are considered. A brief international comparison of some aspects of public pension system finance and benefit structures is presented. The final section considers the ethical, macroeconomic and distributional implications of privatization, prefunding and payroll tax funding, and argues for a pay as you go system financed with income taxes. In order to promote equity, economic security, community, and social cohesion, public pension systems should be universal in coverage. In order to reduce the inequality, income insecurity, and aged poverty generated by market economies, public pension systems ought to be progressive: benefit/contribution ratios should be inversely proportional to income, and progressive income taxes should finance the system. To promote economic growth, the systems should be financed on a pay-as-you-go basis, and should not be prefunded except for an emergency reserve. The fiscal policy recommendations partially depend upon the theory developed by Abba Lerner in the 1940s, and recently advanced by Wynne Godley and Randy Wray: Lerner's “principle of functional finance.”     

John Stuart Mill's Theory Of Justice

John Stuart Mill has traditionally been portrayed as self-contradictory and failing to construct a unified social theory. Recent scholarship, however, has challenged this view, finding Mill's work to be creatively synthetic in bridging the antinomies inherent in liberal democratic thought. This revisionist interpretation of Mill is advanced by an understanding of his theory of justice and its role in shaping his policy positions on issues such as welfare, education, voting rights, property rights, taxation, government intervention, and the future of capitalism.

Interest on reserves and inflation

The payment of interest on reserves has been a common practice in inflationary economies. This policy may seem paradoxical since it involves returning part of the seigniorage, generated by the inflation process, with the intention to finance the fiscal deficit. This paper argues that the motivation for this policy can be captured by the discretionary regime, where the policymaker pays interest on reserves because he is concerned with the erosion of real liquidity by inflation, which is in part beyond his control. However, this policy is an unlikely outcome in the commitment regime, where the policymaker is in full control of inflation.
