Abstract

We present robust international evidence that managerial social capital is a significant determinant of dividend policy worldwide. Our analysis reveals that social capital mitigates information asymmetry and financial constraints, thereby resulting in increased dividend payouts. The effect is particularly pronounced for firms anticipating high cash retention costs. These findings are consistent with the pecking-order perspective of corporate payouts. Moreover, we identify a significant moderating role of shareholder legal protection and national cultural characteristics. Our results remain robust across alternative model specifications and tests for endogeneity.

释放红利:管理社会资本对国际企业派息的影响
我们提出了强有力的国际证据,证明管理社会资本是全球股利政策的重要决定因素。我们的分析表明,社会资本可以缓解信息不对称和财务限制,从而增加股利支付。对于预期现金留存成本较高的公司来说,这种效应尤为明显。这些发现与企业派息的 "啄序 "观点一致。此外,我们还发现了股东法律保护和国家文化特征的重要调节作用。我们的结果在不同的模型规格和内生性检验中都保持稳健。
