Book excerpt: Dividend Policy provides a comprehensive study of dividend policy. It explores the puzzle presented by dividends: irrational and subject to fashion, yet popular and desirable, they remain a priority among managers, even while perceived as largely symbolic. After exploring the history of dividend payments, from the emergence of the modern corporation to current perspectives, it traces the evolution of academic models on dividend policy. Here the authors review models of symmetric and asymmetric information before analyzing academia's accomplishments in solving the dividend puzzle. Related subjects, such as valuation and wealth distribution, round out the authors' presentation about new ways to think about one of the most intriguing subjects in financial economics. The book is recommended for professors and students in departments of finance and business, corporate finance staff, and financial regulators. The only comprehensive study of dividend policy Covers the historical evolution of dividends and academic research on dividend policy Presents new ways of thinking about dividends and dividend policy

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While we are still in the dilemma yet to have a consensus in our understanding of dividends, the empirical modeling of dividend policy has overwhelmingly relied on the model proposed by Lintner (1956). Despite the huge literature in dividends, a number of key issues remain unresolved and clear guidelines for an "optimal payout policy" have not emerged. The aim of this manuscript is to assess whether Lintner's dividend model supports dividend payments in corporate firms. In attempt to test whether the Lintner's model explains the dividend payments of the corporate firms, the manuscript tries to answer the following questions; Do corporate firms have long-term target dividend payout ratios?, Do managers focus more on dividend changes than on absolute levels?, Does Dividend follow a smoother path than earnings? And Are managers reluctant to make changes to dividends that might have to be reversed?

Book excerpt: A claim of solving the dividend puzzle, as formulated by F. Black, is made. Various stock pricing formulas are established, extending substantially the classical Miller-Modigliani theory of valuation of shares in a way to contradict their main conclusion that dividends are irrelevant. Indeed, the main stock pricing formula obtained implies that if the company's costs depend on the available cash, then dividends affect the stock pricing function in a substantial manner. On the other hand, if the company's costs are independent of the available cash, if the dividend tax rate is constant, and under a further technical condition, the established formula is consistent with the Miller-Modigliani's conclusion of dividend irrelevancy. The presented theory is in the context of Miller-Modigliani's stream of dividends approach to valuation of shares, facilitated by the latest developments in the Black-Scholes type pricing theory for incomplete multivariable markets. Various cash flows are modeled, some using Ito SDEs, so that the value of the company is not assumed to be tradable, yielding market incompleteness. In spite of market incompleteness, under some simplifying assumptions, referred to as the Basic Equity Model, the established stock pricing formulas yield unique prices, i.e., prices independent of the investor's risk aversion. Some more general models when this property of prices does not hold are considered as well. The intrinsic non-uniqueness of fair stock prices in such cases is settled by choosing the value of the investor's HARA risk aversion parameter, while if the CARA wealth utility function is used, fair prices remain unique.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dividend Behavior for the Aggregate Stock Market In this paper, we develop a model of the dividend process for the aggregate stock market. Previous research has focused almost exclusively on dividend behavior at the micro level of the individual firm. Hence, to motivate the focus here on aggregate dividend behavior, we begin with a brief review of these earlier micro studies, this to be followed by a discussion which locates the place of our aggregate analysis within this body of research. In Sections 2-5, we derive and fit our econometric model of the dividend process. In Section 6, we compare the performance of the model with other models in the literature. Although long a staple of financial management textbooks, corporate dividend policy remains a topic on which the field has failed to arrive at even a local sense of closure. Fischer Black (1976) has aptly described this lack of closure as the "dividend puzzle." The pivotal point in this puzzle is the classical work of Miller and Modigliani (1961) which demonstrated the irrelevance of dividend policy for determining the firm's cost of capital. Miller and Modigliani showed that when investors can create any payout pattern they want by selling and purchasing shares, the expected return required to induce them to hold these shares will be invariant to the way in which firms "package" gross dividend payments and new issues of stock (and/or other zero net present value transactions). Since neither the firm's expected future net cash flows nor its discount rate is affected by the choice of dividend policy per se, its current market value cannot be changed by a change in that policy. Thus, dividend policy "does not matter." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Fisherian Approach to the Dividend Puzzle written by Naoya Mori and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents an alternative theory explaining why firms adopt dividend policies of various kinds at intermediate levels. We extend the dividend clientele model from a traditional corner-solution framework to an interior-solution framework. For some investors, intertemporal double taxation and transaction costs produce a V-shaped function that is inflected at the point where the dividend payment just satisfies the investor's current liquidity needs. Because, generally speaking, clientele effects and risk diversification are not completely compatible, a firm's dividend pattern is expected to be consistent with the median shareholder's intertemporal consumption allocation when consumption preferences dominate tax preferences for majority shareholders.
