摘要: 以2011—2015年我国沪深A股上市公司为样本,实证检验了现金股利政策是否存在社会网络同群效应,并考察了企业社会网络特征对同群效应强度和现金股利分配行为的影响。研究发现,企业的现金股利分配意愿和分配力度会受社会网络同群企业股利分配行为的正向影响,现金股利政策存在社会网络同群效应。在排除地区同群效应和行业同群效应的影响后,现金股利政策的社会网络同群效应依然稳健存在。企业的社会网络中心度越高,现金股利分配行为同群差异越小,现金股利政策同群效应越强。企业社会网络特征对现金股利分配意愿没有显著影响,对现金股利分配力度存在正向促进作用,企业所处的社会网络位置越核心、中心度越高、联结数量越多、网络影响力越大,派发的每股现金股利越多,现金股利规模越大。本文丰富了公司经济活动同群效应的研究范围,并为社会网络领域和股利政策领域的相关研究提供了增量经验证据。

Abstract: Based on a sample of listed companies in China during the period 2011 to 2015, this paper empirically tests whether the cash dividend policy has social network peer effect, and examines the impact of corporate social network characteristics on the peer effect strength and cash dividend distribution. The results show that the willingness and intensity of cash dividend distribution will be positively affected by the peer firms' dividend distribution behavior in the social network, and corporate cash dividend policy has social network peer effect. After excluding the regional peer effect and industry peer effect, social network peer effect of cash dividend policy still exists significantly. The network centrality of enterprise is negatively related to the peer difference of cash dividend distribution, and positively related to the peer effect strength of cash dividend policy. The characteristics of corporate social network have no obvious effect on cash dividend distribution willingness, but have a significant positive impact on cash dividend distribution intensity. The centrality of social network can positively affect cash dividend per share and cash dividend scale. This paper enriches the research scope of the peer effect of corporate economic activity, and provides incremental empirical evidence for the field of social network research and dividend policy research.
