Resumen

Se estudia el impacto de la adopción del código de gobierno corporativo denominado Código de País (CC), en el ratio de pago de dividendos de las empresas no financieras que reportan a la Superintendencia de Empresas en Colombia. Utilizando un modelo de datos de panel desequilibrado con una muestra de 605 empresas desde 1997 hasta 2022, encontramos que las empresas que adoptaron voluntariamente el Código de País de gobierno corporativo han pagado, en promedio, dividendos más altos que las que no lo hicieron. Además, el impacto de la adopción del Código de País se ve amplificado por su calidad, lo que significa que los pagos de dividendos más altos se asocian a una mejor calidad de Gobierno Corporativo. No encontramos el impacto de las dos reformas al Código de País en 2007 y 2014, lo que implica que estas reformas no ayudaron a las empresas a distribuir más dividendos en Colombia.
