From 1980 to 2000 it has achieved a significant growth as compared to dividend payment by companies. Then, share repurchase is gradually spread to other countries like UK, Canada, etc.  Pertinent to its growing importance, over the years an enormous literature has emerged that deals with many facets of share repurchase. This article classifies and organizes literature in relations to the established hypotheses, determinants affecting share repurchase decisions, the effect of share repurchase on liquidity and earning management around share repurchase. In additions to the above, this article also analyses the regulatory framework of Indian buyback starting from 1998.

We attempt to explain how market power impacts bank dividend payment behaviors in Nepal by taking the sample from the commercial banking sector employing a panel data regression model. Using the Lerner Index (LI), a non-structural measure of market power or lack of competition, we found that market power inversely but statistically insignificantly affect dividend payment. This finding leads us to conclude that market power-a proxy of more or less competition is not an important and influencing factor to the dividend decisions in commercial banking sectors signifying that competition does not seem helpful in mitigating agency conflicts. It is also concluded that banking dividend payouts are not the result of the punitive influence of product market antagonism. Further, among other firm-specific determinants, bank size and leverage significantly positively whereas asset growth significantly negatively affect the dividend decision. However, profitability is found insignificant determinant of dividend payment. The paper enriches and contributes to the literature on banking dividend payout and helps to identify the key factors that affect banking dividend decision-making.  Keywords : Banks, Market competition, Market power, Lerner Index, Nepal

Advance dividend is the process of distributing dividends to shareholders in advance through the interim period profit of the companies. While the dividend payment is accepted to be made only by company of public ownership, it has been approved to be used by non-public companies as well as the Turkish Code of Commerce numbered 6102. This study provides explanations for the calculation and recognition of profit advance dividends by utilizing the data of IPEK A.Ş., which is non-public company, and the application of implicit earnings distribution provisions through transfer pricing especially for recalled advance dividends.Extended English abstract is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.ÖzetKâr payı avansı, işletmelerin ara dönemde elde etmiş oldukları kârlar üzerinden ortaklara önceden temettü dağıtması işlemidir.

The subject of this paper is an analysis of the impact of the crisis caused by coronavirus on business decisions of issuers whose shares are listed on the Banja Luka Stock Exchange, through the example of dividend payment decisions. For the purpose of determining the factual situation, we observed publicly available financial reports of all companies that paid dividends from profits for 2018 and 2019 and made a comparison of profit retention rates in the two observed periods. We also analyzed other available information on the operations of these issuers. The research results show that in 10 out of 16 cases in which there was dividend payment from profits for 2019, the rate of profit retention increased compared to 2018. In addition to the mentioned 16 cases of dividend payment from the profit for the previous year, two cases were recorded in which dividend payment was made, but from the accumulated profit of previous years, so that the retention rate was not calculated for these issuers. If we take into account the fact that, in almost all cases, the decision on the (non-)payment of dividends was made at a time when uncertainties regarding coronavirus were already present in Republika Srpska, it can be concluded that the impending crisis had an impact on 2019 net results distribution decisions.

This paper identifies the determinants that contribute towards the variation in financial assets that make up a firm’s total cash reserves, specifically in two important regions of the world i.e. Asia Pacific and Europe. The findings of the research reveal that firms in the region of Asia Pacific have slightly higher cash holdings, as compared to firms in Europe. Moreover, the study also identifies that the elevated cash holdings in Asia Pacific are not a result of the agency problem, as is generally viewed, rather, the shareholder power hypothesis is a more appropriate measure to elucidate this elevation in the level of cash holdings in the region. When shedding light on to the firm specific cash holding determinants, the findings of the research reveal that leverage, dividend payment, profitability, growth and net working capital, cash flows and financial strength, influence cash reserves in both the regions, exactly in the same manner. This shows the application of transaction, and precautionary motives in both the regions. The study further identifies that size, and investments have a varying effect in both the regions that are taken into consideration. Again, this difference may be attributed to Shareholders’ Power Hypothesis, specifically for Asia Pacific and the Agency View, specifically for Europe. Shareholders’ Right Index influences cash reserves in Asia Pacific in a positive manner, while in Europe, the same index shows a negative influence. The development in the financial markets has a negative negatively influence on cash holdings in Asia Pacific, and a positive one in Europe.
