Meta-analysis data for the literature on dividend smoothing.

Data Brief

Technical University of Munich, School of Management, Germany.

Published: February 2019

The dataset presented in this data article was compiled from 100 published and unpublished empirical studies that employed Lintner׳s dividend payout model or related extensions over the period 1957-2016. Besides the reported degree of dividend smoothing and its estimation precision the data include a wide set of underlying study design characteristics such as the time period of analysis, the type of firms investigated or the econometric estimator employed. The data are related to the research article "What drives dividend smoothing? A meta-regression analysis of the Lintner model" (Fernau and Hirsch, 2018).

The study analyzes the impact of ownership structure on dividend smoothing the lens of agency and information asymmetry theory. The study also investigates the impact of ownership on dividend smoothing in the unexamined asymmetric context Dividend smoothing is measured speed of adjustment and relative volatility.

This paper examines dividend policy issues in the European pharmaceutical industry. This sector is of particular interest because of the high research and development expenditures and the associated risks characterizing the business models of many firms in this industry. In fact, from the perspective of corporate finance theory, this is a particular challenge for the managers of these corporations that may also have implications for the dividend policy implemented by the firms forming this sector.

Age patterns of HIV incidence in eastern and southern Africa: a modelling analysis of observational population-based cohort studies.

Lancet HIV

July 2021

MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis, School of Public Health, Imperial College London, London, UK; Department of Population Health, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, London, UK.

Background: As the HIV epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa matures, evidence about the age distribution of new HIV infections and how this distribution has changed over the epidemic is needed to guide HIV prevention. We aimed to assess trends in age-specific HIV incidence in six population-based cohort studies in eastern and southern Africa, reporting changes in mean age at infection, age distribution of new infections, and birth cohort cumulative incidence.

Methods: We used a Bayesian model to reconstruct age-specific HIV incidence from repeated observations of individuals' HIV serostatus and survival collected among population HIV cohorts in rural Malawi, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe, in a collaborative analysis of the ALPHA network.

In this paper, we analyse piecewise deterministic Markov processes (PDMPs), as introduced in Davis (1984). Many models in insurance mathematics can be formulated in terms of the general concept of PDMPs. There one is interested in computing certain quantities of interest such as the probability of ruin or the value of an insurance company.
