Abstract

Este trabajo analiza la decisión de dividendo de las empresas brasileñas desde la perspectiva del conflicto entre accionistas mayoritarios y minoritarios. El problema de gobierno corporativo en los países del civil-law confiere a la decisión de dividendo dos funciones principales: mecanismo de expropiación y fuente de reputación. Nuestro estudio se centra en la relación entre el ratio de dividendo, la concentración del voto del accionista mayoritario y las oportunidades de crecimiento. La aproximación empírica se realiza con una muestra de 173 empresas brasileñas cotizadas en la Bolsa de Sao Paulo. Los resultados obtenidos de la estimación Tobit confirman nuestra hipótesis: el ratio de dividendo depende negativamente del porcentaje de voto del accionista mayoritario y positivamente de las oportunidades de crecimiento. Los resultados son corroborados con diferentes segmentaciones de la muestra y especificaciones del modelo. This paper analyses the dividend decision in Brazilian firms from the perspective of the conflict between large-controlling owners and minority-outside shareholders. The problem of corporate governance civil-law countries provides the dividend decision with two main functions: an expropriation mechanism and a reputation instrument. Our study focuses on the relationship among the dividend pay-out ratio, voting shares concentration and growth opportunities. Empirical propositions are tested in a sample of 173 Brazilian firms listed on Sao Paulo Stock Exchange. Results from Tobit estimation support our hypothesis: dividend pay-out ratio depends negatively on the portion of the voting capital owned by the largest shareholder, and positively on the relevance of growth opportunities. Our findings are robust to different sample segmentations and model specifications.
