Abstract

We investigate the impact of dividend policy on earnings quality and opportunistic earnings management for individual banks across 45 developed and developing countries between 1996 and 2019. Our estimates show that high dividend payments reduce earnings management, hence mitigate agency problems. This mitigation is especially prevalent among well-capitalised and non-listed banks. Greater investor protection and government regulation appear to strengthen the negative association between dividend policy and earnings management. Our results hold robustly across many different specifications.

银行是否进行收益管理？股利和制度因素的作用

我们研究了 1996 年至 2019 年间 45 个发达国家和发展中国家个别银行的股利政策对盈利质量和机会主义盈利管理的影响。我们的估计结果表明，高股息支付会减少收益管理，从而缓解代理问题。这种缓解作用在资本充足的非上市银行中尤为明显。加强投资者保护和政府监管似乎加强了股利政策与盈利管理之间的负相关关系。我们的研究结果在许多不同的规范中都是稳健的。
