Dividend-Driven Trading Strategies: Evidence from the Warsaw Stock Exchange

This study presents an analysis of dividend-driven trading strategies based on dividend yield growth effects in the Polish stock market in the years 1994–2004. Results indicate that the dividend yield growth portfolios were capable of beating the market in the entire sample period. Their performance, however, was not consistent over time and the highest returns were obtained during final years. Empirical findings based on the analysis of different types of portfolios demonstrate the importance of dividends as a source of significant fundamental information items from stock market companies. At the same time, they show that a dividend investment strategy for the Polish stock market is most successful when the selection of stocks for the dividend yield growth portfolios is subject to further restrictions, most notably concerning company size.

Optimal Dynamic Premium Control in Non-life Insurance. Maximizing Dividend Pay-outs

In this paper we consider the problem of finding optimal dynamic premium policies in non-life insurance. The reserve of a company is modeled using the classical Cramér-Lundberg model with premium rates calculated via the expected value principle. The company controls dynamically the relative safety loading with the possibility of gaining or loosing customers. It distributes dividends according to a 'barrier strategy' and the objective of the company is to find an optimal premium policy and dividend barrier maximizing the expected total, discounted pay-out of dividends. In the case of exponential claim size distributions optimal controls are found on closed form, while for general claim size distributions a numerical scheme for approximations of the optimal control is derived. Based on the idea of De Vylder going back to the 1970s, the paper also investigates the possibilities of approximating the optimal control in the general case by using the closed form solution of an approximating problem with exponential claim size distributions.     

农户家庭人口学特征对绿色农产品生产影响的实证分析

利用对山东寿光和河北定州308个蔬菜种植农户的调研数据,基于双变量相关分析和加权最小二乘回归模型,对农户家庭人口学特征对绿色农产品生产的影响进行实证分析。结果表明：户主性别、户主年龄、投入到绿色农产品生产的劳动力数量以及农产品生产收入对农产品质量安全水平有显著性作用,而户主的受教育程度、家庭人口数、农业劳动力、家庭总收入、是否有外出务工劳动力对绿色农产品生产没有明显影响。     

Reorganizing an existing volunteer fire station network in Germany

Volunteer fire departments have been founded to ensure public safety in case of fire and to provide support for professional firefighters. Most of the current stations date back to the beginning of the 19th century. Today, volunteer fire departments face numerous challenges, such as reduced number of following young volunteers or decreasing public budgets. We quantify these effects and identify different alternatives, such as relocating or closing of stations to minimize the impact on rescue service supply. Based on comprehensive case studies in Bochum, Germany it is apparent that these recommendations provide an excellent toolset for a prospective planning approach.     

公共教育投资与延长人口红利——基于人力资本动态投入产出模型和SAM的预测

本文利用SAM和动态投入产出模型预测了通过提高公共教育投资以延长人口红利的可行性。假定政府扩张教育投入至GDP4.5%,施行高中义务教育,虽然在短期内由于挤占经济建设投资,会导致经济增速下降,但其长期效应包括：使高中和研究生学历人力资源迅速扩张,显著提升现代制造、科教、服务业的生产率,为产业结构升级打下基础;居民和企业相对收入提高,有利于经济增长模式转变;GDP增长率将随着人力资本的积累而回升,增长在人口红利拐点后得以延续。     

Revisiting dividend yield dynamics and returns predictability: Evidence from a time-varying ESTR model

Since the bubble of the late 1990s the dividend yield appears non-stationary indicating the breakdown of the equilibrium relationship between prices and dividends. Two lines of research have developed in order to explain this apparent breakdown. First, that the dividend yield is better characterised as a non-linear process and second, that it is subject to mean level shifts. This paper jointly models both of these characteristics by allowing non-linear reversion to a changing mean level. Results support stationarity of this model for eight international dividend yield series. This model is than applied to the forecast of monthly stock returns. Evidence supports our time-varying non-linear model over linear alternatives, particularly so on the basis of an out-of-sample R-squared measure and a trading rule exercise. More detailed examination of the trading rule measure suggests that investors could obtain positive returns, as the model forecasts do not imply excessive trading such that costs would not outweigh returns. Finally, the superior performance of the non-linear model largely arises from its ability to forecast negative returns, whereas linear models are unable to do.     

上市公司股利支付率内部影响因素的实证研究

影响上市公司股利分配的因素很多,主要是内部影响因素。本文首先对影响上市公司股利分配的内部因素进行简单的理论分析,随即运用Eviews软件对所选取的的样本数据进行统计分析,在95%显著水平下得到下列线形回归模型,进而得出影响股利支付率的因素有哪些,其重要程度如何。这为公司管理层进行股利分配和投资者进行投资决策提供了参考依据。     

对中国经济发展阶段的探讨——从刘易斯曲线、人口红利、库兹涅茨曲线角度出发

学术界对于中国经济发展阶段是否已经迎来刘易斯拐点,以及中国人口红利拐点何时到来的讨论存在较多的争议.本文从二元经济视角、人口转变视角、收入分配视角分析了刘易斯拐点、人口红利拐点、库兹涅茨转折点之间的关系,由此对中国的经济发展阶段进行了探讨.通过对农村剩余劳动力数量是否存在大幅度下降及农业工资率是否存在大幅度上升的分析,本文认为中国经济并未进入刘易斯拐点;虽然中国面临人口红利的结束,人口转变优于经济发展,但并不意味着中国劳动力的短缺;只要我国实现从人口大国向人力资本强国转变,就会抵消人口红利拐点到来的负面影响.文章最后对中国是否存在陷入“中等收入陷阱”的可能性进行了讨论     

Dividend Policies of Privately Held Companies: Stand‐Alone and Group Companies in Belgium

This study examines the dividend policies of privately held Belgian companies, differentiating between stand‐alone companies and those affiliated with a business group. We find that privately held companies typically do not pay dividends. Compared to public companies, they are less likely to pay dividends and they have lower dividend payouts. Our results also suggest that group companies pay more dividends than stand‐alone companies, consistent with the hypothesis that tax‐exempt group firms redistribute dividend payments on the group's internal capital market. Group companies pay higher dividends if they have minority shareholders.
