In general, the dividend-signaling hypothesis assumes a positive relationship between dividend changes and the price reaction to these changes, or a positive relationship between dividend changes and future firm earnings. This study discusses the effect of pre-listing dividends on IPO underpricing. If the dividend signaling effect exists in Chinese capital markets, there is likely a negative relationship between pre-listing dividends and IPO underpricing. We test the hypothesis using samples collected from Chinese IPO markets from 2009 to 2017. The empirical test results are as follows. First, offering size, period from subscription date to listing date, company size and age, debt ratio, ROE, and lot winning rate significantly influence IPO underpricing. Second, companies that do not pay any pre-IPO dividends display a more serious degree of underpricing, but companies that pay more frequent pre-listing dividends can alleviate the information asymmetry problem and reduce IPO underpricing. Even more surprising, dividends paid two or three years before listing have a negative impact on IPO underpricing, but those paid one year before listing have no influence. Third, we investigated companies that pay dividends only prior to the public offering and those that paid consistent dividends before the IPO separately. The empirical results revealed that dividend payments of those companies that paid consistent dividends have a negative impact on IPO underpricing, but those of companies that pay dividends only prior to the public offering have more severe underpricing. In other words, companies that do not pay consistent dividends before listing issued a lower offer price and paid dividends prior to the public offering for the uncertainty of IPOs. By reviewing both classic and recent literature, we consider that our many-sided discussions on the dividend-signaling hypothesis and IPO underpricing contribute to related future research in this field.

소개
본 연구소의 설립을 통해 우선 한중 양국 국민의 상호이해와 교류증진을 위한 인문, 사회과학적인 연구는 물론이고, 이를 통해 기업(인)이 중국에 안정적인 정착과 교류를 할 수 있는 각종 환경을 조성하고자 한다.
게다가 본 연구소는 기존의 연구소의 기능과는 달리 단순한 학술 교류에 머물지 않고 인적 교류를 통해 양국관계의 이해를 증진하고 나아가 한국과 중국의 각종 프로젝트를 적극 유치, 개발함으로써 지속적으로 재원의 창출을 도모하고자 한다.
