Ownership Structure,Agency Relationship and Dividend Policy in unlisted Cameroonian Companies

Financial decisions in general and dividend policy in particular are based on the relationship between the stakeholders.Also,analyzing the dividend policy in companies that are not listed on the stock market remains important.The object of our study is to analyze the agency relationship in the link between the ownership structure and the distribution of the dividend at the level of Cameroonian companies.We opted for a qualitative and quantitative study.The statistical tests carried out(with 67 companies)are the comparison test of means and the analysis of variance with one factor(using Statistic Package for Social Science[SPSS]software).The results of this research show that regular and irregular dividend payments lead to a low level of conflict between majority-minority shareholders and shareholder-managers.This leads to a negative relationship between the concentration,the ownership identity,and the dividend policy.

员工持股计划能降低企业权益资本成本吗?--基于多期双重差分模型的检验

将实施员工持股计划看作一项准自然实验,以2011—2022年沪深A股上市公司为研究样本,构建多期双重差分模型,实证检验员工持股计划的实施对企业权益资本成本的影响。研究表明:实施员工持股计划能显著降低企业权益资本成本,该结论在经过平行趋势检验、安慰剂检验等一系列内生性和稳健性检验后依然成立;中介效应检验发现,员工持股计划通过提高企业现金股利支付意愿和支付水平来降低企业权益资本成本。基于研究结论,提出以下政策建议:持续完善相关制度设计,积极推进员工持股计划的实施;健全资本市场功能,引导企业制定适宜的现金股利政策;完善相关法律法规,加强监管,改善企业外部融资环境。

企业数字化转型与股利分配

企业数字化转型已成为我国经济增长的新引擎和新动力。为探究数字化转型对企业财务决策的影响,基于现金股利分配的视角,以2008—2020年中国A股上市公司为样本,研究企业数字化转型与现金股利分配之间的关系。研究发现:企业数字化转型程度越深,其现金股利分配水平越低。进一步研究表明,企业数字化转型与现金股利分配之间的负向关系,在规模较小、多元化程度较高以及数字经济欠发达地区的企业中更为显著。其次,通过机制检验发现,由于企业进行数字化转型,导致研发支出增加,进而使企业减少现金股利分配。最后,拓展性研究结论表明,数字化转型虽然在短期降低了股利分配,但长期而言,有助于提升企业价值。

A Study of the Universal Two-child Policy’s Impact on China’s Future Population

The most essential step in adjusting and improving the childbearing policy, the universal two-child policy will produce far-reaching impacts on the future development of China’s population. With its implementation, the country’s total population will peak later, the underage population and its proportion will increase substantially, the working-age population will experience a slower decline, and the aging of China’s population will be eased. However, the drop in the proportion of working-age people over the last 15 years has expedited the reduction of the demographic dividend, the elderly population will remain unaffected over the next 60 years, the aging of the population will continue to deepen, and at the same time, the increased child dependency burden will expand the overall dependency ratio.

控股股东股权质押、外部治理环境与股利政策选择

基于2010—2019年沪深A股上市公司样本,检验控股股东股权质押对股利政策选择的影响以及外部治理环境的调节效应。研究表明:控股股东股权质押导致控制权转移,控股股东会实施积极的股票送转;而现金股利水平导致代理冲突,会影响控股股东的股权质押行为;好的外部治理环境具有正向效应,能够抑制控股股东股权质押导致的股票高送转增加行为和现金股利降低水平。研究结合宏观环境和资本市场,深入分析了股权质押与股利政策选择之间的关系,为政府治理和金融监管提供有益的政策建议。

得食应反哺?制造业企业金融化对现金股利政策的影响研究

以2007-2019年沪深A股制造业上市公司为样本,探究制造业企业金融化对现金股利政策的影响。研究发现:制造业企业金融化抑制了现金股利的支付意愿和支付水平,且这种抑制效应在非国有企业、规模小的企业中更加明显。其中,投资金融化和收益金融化对现金股利支付水平均具有显著的抑制效应;相比投资金融化,收益金融化对现金股利支付意愿的抑制效应更加明显。进一步的作用机制检验结果表明,制造业企业金融化主要通过挤占主业投资降低经营利润,从而抑制现金股利的分配;而通过缓解融资约束促进现金股利发放的路径并不显著。经过内生性、倾向得分匹配、替换被解释变量和改变样本区间等稳健性检验后,实证结论依然稳健。基于此,未来企业应端正经营理念,聚焦经营主业,在实现自身高质量发展的同时增加现金分红以反哺投资者。

大股东控制权与所有权分离度对企业现金分红影响研究——基于中国分红监管政策调节效应的实证检验

分红监管政策对于两权分离度与现金分红之间的关系具有调节效应。笔者以2004—2018年中国沪深A股市场中上市企业的相关数据,从样本总体以及区分监管政策类型、企业所有制类型、企业所处地区市场化程度等维度,实证检验了两权分离度对企业现金分红的影响及其间分红监管政策发挥的调节效应。检验结果证实:两权分离度对企业现金分红有负向影响,但是半强制分红政策削弱了这种负向影响;区分所有制类型检验证实,半强制分红政策对国有企业中两权分离度与现金分红之间关系的调节效应更大;区分企业所处地区市场化程度检验证实,半强制分红政策对低市场化程度地区之企业两权分离度与现金分红之间关系的调节效应更大;实施差异化分红政策增强成长期企业中两权分离度与现金分红之间的负向关系,削弱成熟期企业中两权分离度与现金分红之间的负向关系。本文的研究结论拓展了宏观经济政策下的企业代理理论,能够为改进监管政策以及提高公司治理水平提供理论依据。
