La distribution des dividendes dans l'hypothèse de revenu permanent

Abstract

[fre] L'étude de la fonction de distribution (ou d'épargne) des entreprises nécessite un fondement théorique. En effet il convient de mettre en lumière l'essentiel et donc de ne pas s'égarer dans les nombreux détails compliqués de la réalité (une quinzaine de facteurs énoncés à ce jour par des études empiriques), De plus, il est nécessaire d'expliquer un certain nombre de phénomènes restés incompris jusqu'ici (en particulier la différence de propension à distribuer selon la branche d'activité et selon la taille des firmes).. L'hypothèse de profit permanent fournit cette base théorique et ajoute à sa simplicité un pouvoir explicatif qui permet d'interpréter des phénomènes restés jusqu'ici obscurs.. De plus, il est possible d'obtenir, à partir du concept de profit permanent, un concept mesurable et à partir du modèle de profit permanent de distribution, un modèle opératoire permettant des utilisations concrètes et en particulier une estimation économétrique.. Compte tenu de l'information statistique utilisée et après avoir pris les pré­cautions économétriques nécessaires, la vérification économétrique ne contredit pas l'hypothèse de profit permanent et permet même de la préciser.. Simplicité, pouvoir explicatif étendu, possibilités opératoires semblent faire de l'hypothèse de profit permanent l'instrument privilégié d'étude de la distribution des dividendes. [eng] The study of corporate pay out function (or saving) necessitates a theoretical foundation. Indeed it is necessary to throw light on the essential factors and not to consider the many complicated details of reality (there have been about fifteen factors suggested up to now by empirical studies). One must also explain a certain number of phenomena which up to now have not been understood (in particuliar the difference of distribution propension according to the industry and according to the size of the firms).. The permanent profit hypothesis gives us this theoretical basis and endows the resultant simplicity with an explanatory power that allows us to interpret some phenomena heretofore unexplained.. It is also possible to obtain, starting from the theoretical concept of permanent profit, a measurable concept, and, from the model of permanent profit distribution, an operative model allowing concrete usage and in particular an econometric estimation. Bearing in mind the statistical information used and taking the necessary eco nometric precautions one realizes that the econometric veri cation does not contradict the permanent profit hypothesis and even leads to greater precision. Its simplicity, vast explanatory power, and operational possibilities would appear to make the permanent profit hypothesis the best instrument for the study of pay out dividends
