现金股利政策的影响因素很多,上市公司在制定现金股利政策时,综合考虑影响现金股利政策的因素。本文对上市公司现金股利政策可以量化的影响因素进行了实证分析,发现上市公司每股现金股利与净资产收益率、每股经营现金流量、股利支付率、总股本对数和上年每股现金股利之间呈显著相关。     

市场化进程与现金股利行为关系的实证研究

本文利用2000～2005年中国上市公司数据,检验了市场化进程对现金股利行为的影响.实证发现:在控制了公司自身特性后,虽然市场化进程的加快总体上促使现金股利行为走向理性,但在引入股权集中度后,情况大为不同.股权集中度高的公司,市场化进程对现金股利行为不具有显著的影响力,第一大股东持股比例是影响现金股利行为的主要因素,与每股现金股利正相关,这种关系在国有上市公司中更为显著;而在股权集中度低的公司中,市场化进程与现金股利行为表现出显著正相关关系.     

真实盈余管理与现金股利政策——来自中国上市公司的经验证据

本文利用2007～2011年7402个沪深A股上市公司样本,实证检验了上市公司真实盈余管理与现金股利政策间的关系,研究发现,真实盈余管理与现金股利分配倾向及现金股利分配力度间存在显著负相关关系,即真实盈余管理程度越高的上市公司,现金股利分配倾向就越低,而且分配的每股现金股利值也越低。进一步研究发现,真实盈余管理与现金股利政策间的负相关关系主要是由正向真实盈余管理的上市公司造成的。

Does having a semimandatory dividend policy enhance investor confidence? Research on dividend-financing behavior

Enhancing investor confidence is crucial for sustainable and stable development of the capital market. Does having a semimandatory policy to pay dividends help to enhance investor confidence? What is the origin of the cash dividend paid by companies to meet regulatory requirements so as to enhance investor confidence? Based on these considerations, this paper uses the exogenous policy shock that in 2006 the China Securities Regulatory Commission required listed companies to pay accumulated dividends of no less than 20 % of average annual distributable profits and adopts a panel difference-in-difference estimation strategy to explore whether this new policy has significantly enhanced investor confidence. In addition, it explores the source of external financing for cash dividends by examining dividend-financing behavior. The results show that the semimandatory dividend policy has led to new dividend-financing behavior by listed companies. The cash dividend paid by companies comes mainly from external financing, especially a net increase in debt. The paper expands the traditional theory of dividend payment and provides a reference point for decision-making by shareholders, company managers, and regulatory agencies.     

再融资公司的现金分红和现金流操控研究

证监会2006年和2008年相继发布了强制拟再融资上市公司分派现金股利的文件,旨在提高股东回报。以2006年和2007年A股再融资上市公司为样本,对这些政策颁布前后上市公司分红和现金流的变化情况进行研究发现,在证监会强制要求下,上市公司的分红水平有所提高,但股利分派也成为了大股东转移公司利益的手段。而且,公司的现金流在再融资前后波动较大,存在被操控的迹象。     

卖空管制放松与上市公司现金股利：促进还是抑制？

基于2006—2020年中国A股上市公司的数据,验证卖空管制放松对上市公司现金股利分配的影响。研究发现,相比于不可卖空的公司,可卖空公司在被列入卖空标的后,其现金股利分配意愿、分配规模与分配平稳性均显著提升。机制检验发现,卖空管制放松对现金股利分配的促进在代理问题严重、投资机会少的公司中更显著,这支持了代理成本机制;同时,在信号传递能力强、信号传递需求大的公司中,卖空管制放松对现金股利分配的促进更显著,这支持了信号传递机制。进一步分析发现,现金股利分配能力不足的公司在应对卖空压力时并未使用“高送转”作为替代。而对于我国资本市场中广泛存在的达标式分配,卖空管制放松能够产生抑制作用,且抑制作用体现在没有再融资需求的公司中。研究表明,卖空管制放松促进了上市公司现金股利分配,卖空机制能够为我国资本市场中的现金股利监管提供市场化路径。     

LIFO adoption and dividend payout

Adoption of the LIFO inventory costing method tends to decrease reported earnings but increases cash flows to adopting firms. This study examines the change in dividend payout ratios (cash dividends divided by earnings) accompanying LIFO adoption. The question addressed is whether adopting firms likely paid out incremental cash flows or retained them to the benefit of management. The evidence suggests that managers and directors adjusted payout ratios to partially offset the negative earnings effect of LIFO. The adjustments made were not sufficient in magnitude to achieve a neutral LIFO effect on dividend payout, and the net result was the retention of incremental cash flows generated by LIFO adoption.     

中国上市公司现金股利支付可能性影响因素分析

关于现金股利,大多数文献只是对影响现金股利支付水平的因素进行研究,对现金股利支付可能性大小研究的尚不多。本文以我国上市公司为样本,实证分析了上市公司现金股利的支付特点及支付可能性的影响因素,研究发现,公司面临现金流的不确定性程度、所处周期、面临的投资机会等因素对公司股利支付的可能性有重要影响,最后提出了相应的政策建议。     

The effect of takeover defenses on the dividend decision

Many firms have sought protection from hostile takeovers by passing defensive amendments to their corporate charter and/or lobbying their state legislatures for statutory protection. Agency theory would suggest that any such takeover defenses alter the principal-agent relationship. A consequence of such a change may be a change in corporate decision making. The objective of this research is to test the effect that passage of antitakeover amendments has on a firm's dividend policy. We use six alternate measures of dividend activity: total dividends paid, dividends per share and dividends relative to earnings, cash flow, market value, and book value. Our results indicate that firms that adopt antitakeover amendments, when compared to an industry control sample, tend to have a slower rate of growth in dividend payout as measured by the proxy variables. These results suggest that entrenchment is not a likely outcome of such amendments.     

Deregulation of short selling and corporate cash dividend policy: A quasi-natural experiment from China

This study takes China’s short selling deregulation as a quasi-natural experiment, employs a sample of Chinese A-share listed firms from 2007 to 2017, and tests the impact of a short selling pilot on firms’ cash dividends using a difference-in-differences model (DID). We find that China’s short selling pilot significantly increases the pilot firms’ cash dividends. The mechanism test shows that short selling can improve the pilot firms’ cash dividends by playing a corporate governance role to restrain dual agency costs such as management fees and major shareholders’ tunneling. Furthermore, we identify that short selling restrains the behavior of “large stock dividends” and increases the cash dividends of “large stock dividends” firms. Moreover, the governance effect of short selling is complementary to the external governance environment. The higher the degree of marketization and government quality, the more significant the governance effect of short selling to increase the pilot firms’ cash dividends. This study enriches not only the research related to cash dividends in emerging economies, but also provides new empirical evidence for the evaluation of China’s short selling deregulation and offers valuable lessons to other emerging economies.     

An investigation into the financial characteristics of dividend initiating firms

Dividend announcements are said to have an informational content concerning the value of the firm. Most studies on dividend announcements have involved models to predict change or to analyze that informational content. The purpose of this study is to establish the financial characteristics of firms that initiate or significantly increase dividends. One hundred firms were selected for study. Fifty of the firms had recently either initiated or significantly increased dividends; the other fifty were selected at random. Significant differences were found in the financial characteristics of the two groups. The results were generally consistent with previous studies and finance theory. There were however, two genuine surprises. The dividend initiating firms possessed lower levels of liquidity and activity than firms selected at random. This suggests that dividends may not be paid to dispose of excess cash, but to provide shareholders with some tangible reward in periods of low liquidity and little activity.     

Long-term stock performance following extraordinary and special cash dividends

Using essentially all declared extraordinary and special cash dividends between 1926 and 2001 which are not preceded or followed by the same for a period of three years, we find no robust post-declaration long-term abnormal stock returns, even in sub-samples defined by the special dividend yield, the bang-for-the-buck, the declaration-period abnormal return, the sub-sampling period or the stock market condition at declaration. Only event firms in the smallest CRSP market capitalization quintile display significant positive abnormal returns during the first-year following the declaration. However, these latter are not robust across sub-sampling periods. Overall, there is no compelling evidence that investors under- or over-react to extraordinary or special cash dividends.
