Abstract

El objetivo del estudio es analizar el impacto de la adopción del Código de Gobierno Corporativo sobre el pago de dividendos en 111 compañías listadas en la Bolsa de Valores de Lima del 2007 al 2015. La metodología escogida incluye un modelo de panel no balanceado, con el ratio de pago de dividendos como variable dependiente y entre las variables independientes la adopción del Código de Gobierno Corporativo y la Calidad del Gobierno Corporativo. Los resultados muestran que las compañías con un Código de Gobierno Corporativo y, especialmente, aquellas con una calidad superior del mismo, han pagado más dividendos, ello a pesar de que el ratio de pago de dividendos siempre presenta una relación negativa con la concentración de propiedad. Sin embargo estos son resultados generales y más estudios deben ser realizados a nivel de industrias para encontrar sus diferencias. Este es el primer estudio que establece una relación entre gobierno corporativo y pago de dividendos en empresas que operan en el Perú. Una implicancia importante para los inversores institucionales es que es aconsejable considerar la adopción y la calidad del Código como un criterio de selección de acciones con el fin de obtener un mayor pago de dividendos en sus inversiones.
