This study examines the determinants of two important dividend policy decisions specifically the dividend payment decision and the dividend payout level decision of 781 sample Indian firms enlisted on National Stock Exchange (NSE) over the period, 1995–2015, comparing the business group-affiliated firms with the standalone firms. In term of characteristics, the business group-affiliated firms are larger, more profitable and more levered than the standalone firms. The empirical results suggest that the dividend policy decisions of business group-affiliated firms differ significantly from that of the standalone firms. In the case of standalone firms, the firms with high investment opportunities, high financial leverage and high business risk are less likely to pay dividends, and their dividend payout levels are lower. On the other hand, the firms affiliated with business groups are more likely to pay dividends, and their dividend payout levels are higher even when they have high investment opportunities, high financial leverage and high business risk. Overall, the findings suggest that although the business groups are able to create internal capital markets (ICMs) and shield their member firms from market imperfections, they may suffer from other information asymmetry problems.

The purpose of this study is to obtain empirical evidence of investment opportunity capability sets to moderate the influence of information asymmetry on dividend policy. This research was conducted at a manufacturing company listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange 2014-2016. Sampling method used is purposive sampling. The sample size is 30 with 72 observations. Technique Data analysis used is test of Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). Based on the results of the analysis, it is known that the investment opportunity set is not as a moderator of the influence of information asymmetry on the dividend policy. This suggests that when firms have high investment opportunities with high levels of asymmetry, it is not necessarily that the company will pay low dividends or not share them to the shareholders, since management will manage earnings annually as reserves to be reinvested without reducing the proportion of dividend payout to investors. This study provides implications for investors as a consideration in investing in a company to see how the bid ask and dividend payout ratio of the company's shares.

<p class="ber"><span lang="EN-GB">The present study analyzes the trend and determinants of dividend payout ratio of National Stock Exchange (NSE) listed companies in India. The study is based on 239 companies, which have continuous data during the period 1994-95 to 2012-13. From the trend analysis we find that the number of dividend paying companies has declined but the average dividend paid by them has increased manifold over the last two decades which suggests that the dividend paying companies have paid higher amounts of dividends in the later years. The dividend payout ratio varies across all the industries with the electricity industry having the lowest payout ratio and the miscellaneous manufacturing industry having the highest payout ratio. The empirical results suggest that firms with high free cash flow, firms which are larger, more profitable and mature, pay more dividends while riskier, more leveraged and firms with high investment opportunities tend to pay lower dividends. The dividend distribution tax rate imposed by government affects the dividend payout ratio positively. The market-to-book ratio, debt-to-equity ratio, free cash flow, business risk, age, size, profitability and dividend distribution tax variables are significant for the entire period of study. Whereas, the business risk, profitability and dividend distribution tax variables are significant for the entire period of study i.e. 1995-2013 as well as for the two sub-periods 1995-2003 and 2004-2013. Overall, the results are consistent with the pecking order, transaction cost, signaling and firm life cycle theory of dividend policy and we find a little evidence for agency costs theory.</span></p>

This paper examines the determinants of dividend policy of manufacturing companies listed on the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange in Tanzania. Two measures of dividend policy namely, dividend yield and dividend payout are examined over the 2008-2016 period. In addition, three proxies of profitability namely return on assets ratio, return on equity ratio, and the ratio of earnings per share are applied in separate specifications. Similarly, investment opportunities are measured using the ratio of retained earnings to total assets and market to book value ratio. Other explanatory variables are liquidity, business risk, firm size, firm growth and gearing ratio. For inferential analysis, 12 regression models are specified and estimated depending on the measurements of dividend policy, profitability, and collinearity between retained earnings to total assets and market to book value ratios. Empirical results show that the determinants of dividend policy vary across the proxies of dividend policy, profitability and investment opportunities. On one hand, return on equity, retained earnings to total assets ratio, market to book value ratio, business risk and size of the firms tend to have a significant effect on dividend yield. On the other hand, liquidity, business risk, and retained earnings to total assets ratio seem to affect dividend payout. Meanwhile, return on asset ratio tends to have an effect on both dividend yield and dividend payout when excluding liquidity in the regression models. Overall, dividend yield as a measure of dividend policy and return on equity as measure of profitability provide better results. The main implication of these results is that managers should consider the major determinants of dividend yield ratio while formulating the appropriate dividend policy for a firm.

Identifying the major determinants of companies’ dividend policy has been the pith of various researchers and industry practitioners as well. In this research, the effect of the firms’ financial leverage and age on their dividend policy has been explored. Two hypotheses were formulated, where the first focused on examining the effect of the firms’ financial leverage and the second concentrated on investigating the effect of the firms’ age on their dividend policy. The sample assimilated in this study comprises of 38 Kuwait Stock Exchange listed companies from different industries. The period of investigation was five years, from 2009 to 2013. The hypotheses were tested using ordinary least square and fixed-effect panel regression. The results signify a negative relationship between the firm’s financial leverage and dividend payout ratio. Moreover, the results indicate a negative relationship between the firm’s age and dividend payout ratio.

This study seeks out the relationship between the characteristics of companies and dividend policy, as well as the role of family involvement as a moderator of such relationships. This study utilized a purposive sampling method. We conducted the analysis by multiple linear regression and moderated regression analysis. The number of samples in this study is 192 observations in non-financial companies listed on the LQ45 index. The Result shows that profitability, size, and investment opportunities have a positive effect on dividend payout ratio. Meanwhile, financial leverage has a negative relationship with the dividend payout ratio. Family involvement weakens the positive influence of profitability on dividend policy but strengthens the positive effect of investment opportunities. Family involvement does not moderate the effect of size, and financial leverage on dividend policy.

This article examines the determinants of dividend smoothing behaviour of business group-affiliated firms relative to unaffiliated firms in India during the period from 1994–1995 to 2012–2013. The study is based on 240 sample firms listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) that has continuous dividend data for the entire period. The business group-affiliated firms tend to smooth their dividend payments more than that of standalone firms and the actual payout ratio as well as the target payout ratio of business group-affiliated firms is higher than that of standalone firms. For the determinants of dividend smoothing, the investment opportunities and the financial leverage are the significant factors influencing the dividend smoothing behaviour of business group-affiliated firms and standalone firms, respectively. For the entire sample, the firms with high investment opportunities, low leverage, high business risk and that are smaller in size tend to smooth their dividend payments more. As for the macroeconomic factors, the high dividend distribution tax (DDT) imposed by government tends the firms to smooth their dividend payments more. Overall, the results support the information asymmetry and agency-based explanation of dividend smoothing behaviour.
