| Abstract | Ein erheblicher Teil der Sparkassen in Deutschland verzichtet auf Ausschüttungen, obwohl sie rechtlich zulässig wären. Frühere Studien haben ergeben, dass die zurückhaltende Ausschüttungspolitik mit der Kapitalausstattung und Größe einer Sparkasse sowie der Finanzlage ihres Trägers zusammenhängt. Die vorliegende Studie zeigt, dass neben diesen wirtschaftlichen Faktoren ein regionales Clustering auftritt. Demnach nimmt eine Sparkasse eher Ausschüttungen vor, wenn auch die Nachbarinstitute ausschütten. Dieses Clustering könnte in Informationsasymmetrien und Interessenkonflikten aufgrund der mehrstufigen Prinzipal-Agent-Beziehung von Sparkassen begründet liegen. Die Vertreter der Gewährträger werden sich tendenziell für höhere Ausschüttungen aussprechen als das Sparkassenmanagement, können ihrer Forderung aber weniger gut Nachdruck verleihen, weil sie gegenüber dem Management einen Informationsnachteil haben. In dieser Situation liegt es nahe, die Ausschüttungspolitik der benachbarten Sparkassen als Referenzpunkt zu verwenden. Wir schlagen eine Operationalisierung dieser These vor und prüfen sie anhand einer Vollerhebung aller in Deutschland ansässigen Sparkassen für die Geschäftsjahre 2005 und 2006. Unsere Distanzvariable erweist sich in allen Probit- und (modifizierten) Tobit-Regressionen als die mit Abstand wichtigste Determinante der Wahrscheinlichkeit und Höhe einer Ausschüttung. Damit wirft die Studie ein neues Licht auf die Ausschüttungspolitik von Sparkassen.A significant part of German savings banks does not pay out dividends when they are legally possible. Previous studies show that the conservative payout policy is related to the capitalization and the size of a savings bank and the financial standing of its local authority. This study reports evidence for a regional clustering in addition to the known economic determinants. Our result suggests that savings banks are more prone to paying dividends when the neighboring banks do the same. We hypothesize this clustering to be caused by a multi-stage principal agent relationship in German savings banks. One consequence of this structure is that the representatives of the local authority in the savings bank’s governing board will typically advocate higher dividends than the management. However, they cannot bring to bear their dividend recommendation because they have an information disadvantage with respect to the bank’s management. In such a situation, it is but natural to use the payout policy of neighboring savings banks as a reference point. We propose a test of this hypothesis based on data for all German savings banks in 2005 and 2006. In Probit and (modified) Tobit regressions, our distance measure turns out to be by far the most important determinant of the probability and size of dividend payouts. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
