Firms' Total Payout Characteristics in Visegrad Countries

Abstract: Firms' Total Payout Characteristics in Visegrad Countries This paper examines payout characteristics of firms in a cultural and political alliance of four Central European nations, the Visegrad Group. The sample consists of more than 100,000 firmyear observations from 2001 to 2015. Our results indicate that smoothing behaviour diminishes among firms with majority ownership and that the total payout characteristics behave according to existing theories on passive ownership behaviour and agency costs.

“…This issue was extended by Fernau and Hirsch [14], who created a guide to future dividend smoothing research using the meta-regression analysis of the Lintner model. Hanousek and Tresl [15] deepened the existing research on the findings of overall characteristics of payments in private companies. They examined the payout behaviour, and the way in which private company shareholders' payouts were smoothed in four Central European countries, concluding that the Lintner model indicated a shift over time to a higher target payout ratio and the absence of payout payments for private companies.…”
