Ítem Latinamerican Dividends: do they fit in any theory?(Universidad Icesi, 2007-01-01) Arcos Mora, Mauricio AlejandroWe test different predictions of the pecking order and trade-of theories for the dividends of a sample of Latin-American firms in seven countries covering the years 1999 to 2005. Most of the theoretical predictions are confirmed by the data; our tests also report a high speed of adjustment in the dividend levels of the firms in the sample. A simple model testing the effect of the payout level on the dividend yield, find some support for the tax advantage of capital gains over dividendsÍtem Concentración de la propiedad y desempeño contable: El caso latinoamericano.(Universidad Icesi, 2005-09-01) Benavides Franco, JuliánThis paper studies the effects of ownership concentration on the accounting returns for a panel of 532 publicly listed Latin-American firms between the years 1999 and 2003. The firms are from five countries: Colombia, Brazil, Chile, Peru and Venezuela. The results, for a model that assumes variables independence, indicate a positive effect of ownership concentration on performance, and an effect, weaker, but still positive of performance on the ownership concentration. Under an approach of simultaneous equations, the effect of ownership concentration on performance is negative, and the effect of performance on ownership concentration, vanishes. The relationship between ownership concentration and performance suggests an entrenchment effect of controlling shareholders that hinders the competitiveness of the sampled firms.Ítem Efecto del ciclo de efectivo sobre la rentabilidad de las firmas colombianas(Universidad Icesi, 2006-12-01) Arcos Mora, Mauricio AlejandroThis document analyzes the relation between the efficiency of working capital management and corporate profitability for the period of 2001 through 2004. Using a regression framework, we find a strong negative relation between the number of day the company has to finance its working capital and its profitability. Thus, this paper supports the argument that shorter trade cycles would be accompanied by higher profitability levels.Ítem Company holdings structure and stock yields in South America(Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, 2008-06-01) Benavides Franco, JuliánEn el mundo se encuentra concentrada en manos de los tres principales accionistas cerca del 46% de la propiedad, y en el caso de empresas que operan en mercados suramericanos, este porcentaje se eleva a un 70%. Mediante un estudio de portafolio y una estimación con datos de panel a 271 empresas correspondientes a cinco mercados emergentes suramericanos, se concluye que, en promedio, el portafolio de acciones, conformado por empresas con la mayor concentración de propiedad, genera un rendimiento superior al producido por el portafolio formado por empresas con la menor concentración de propiedad. Ello indica que los inversionistas bursátiles necesitan un rendimiento superior, debido al mayor riesgo que enfrentarían como accionistas minoritarios de las empresas con una elevada concentración de propiedad.
