This paper studies the behaviour of stock prices on the ex-dividend day in the Korean stock market. Since a majority of listed Korean firms are December firms whose fiscal year end in December and whose ex-dividend day falls on the same calendar day in the year, we use stock prices of Non-December firms to estimate the general stock price movements not related to cash dividends. We estimate excess returns on days around the ex-dividend day. Our major findings are (a) there is no tax clientele effect in Korea, (b) the opening price stock prices fell by the amount of the current cash dividend per share until 2001, but it does not fall as much as the current dividend per share since 2001. Furthermore, in contrast to the U.S. and the Japanese findings, (c) stocks earned negative excess returns on the ex-dividend day until 2001, after which all stocks are earning positive excess returns on the ex-dividend day, and (d) the closing stock price on the ex-dividend day that used to be even higher than the cum-dividend price until 2001 is lower than the opening stock price since 2001. The evidence suggests a structural break has happened around the year 2001.

Firms pay cash dividends to reduce the agency costs, and then insider stock ownership affects the dicision of dividend payout ratio. In this study, it is tested that firm's insider stock ownership affects the decision of dividend payout ratio, but the relation between dividend payout ratio and insider stock ownership is nonmonostic. The empirical evidence shows that at low levels of insider stock ownership, increase in the percentage of stock held by insiders decreases dividend payout ratio, but beyond the point of entrenchment increase in the percentage of stock held by insiders increases dividend payout ratio. Thus, the dividend payout ratio and the percentage of stock held by insiders are in a parabolic relation. This implies that there may be a optimal insider stock ownership In lead to the minimun dividend payout ratio.

본 연구에서는 배당소득세율의 변화, 대주주지분율 및 기업의 배당정책이 주식수익률에 미치는 영향 및 이들의 상호작용에 대하여 분석하였다. 분석결과, 누적초과수익률을 종속변수로 하는 회귀분석에서 대ㅜ주지분율, 대주주지분율과 배당률의 상호작용항, 배당소득세율의 하락과 배당률의 상호작용항 및 배당소득세율의 상승과 대주주지분율과의 상호작용항은 양(+)의 부호를 나타내었다. 또한, 배당소득세율의 상승과 배당률과의 상호작용항 및 배당소득세율의 하락과 대주주지분율의 상호작용항은 음(-)의 부호를 보였다. 한편, 배당소득세율의 상승, 배당률 및 대주주지분율의 상호작용항은 주식수익률과 양(+)의 상관관계를 가지는 것으로 나타나 배당소득세율이 상승할 때 배당률이 높은 기업에서 대주주 지분율이 주식수익률에 미치는 영향을 강화하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과로 볼 때, 기업의 배당정책에 따라 개인투자자의 조세부담을 완화할 수 있어 투자가치에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 정책입안자의 입장에서 조세의 형평성을 달성하기 위해서는 소득유형에 따른 차별적 과세를 줄이는 것이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

The price-dividend ratio is one of the most frequently used financial variables to predict long-horizon stock return. However, the persistency of the price-dividend ratio is found to cause the spuriousness of the stock return prediction regression. The stable relationship between the stock price and the dividend, however, seems to weaken after World War II and to experience structural break. In this paper, we identify a structural change in the cointegrating relationship between the log of the stock price and the log of the dividend. Confirming a structural break in 1962, we subdivide the sample and apply the fully modified estimator to correct for the nonstationarity of the regressor. With the subdivided sample, we exercise the nonparametric bootstrap procedure to derive the empirical distribution of the test statistics and fail to find return predictability in each subsample period.

This study aims to analyze the effect of the ratio of profitability and solvability (leverage) on the variable stock price, which is mediated (intervening) by the variable dividend policy. Using the financial reports of manufacturing companies in the consumer goods sector, we take profitability data (ROA, ROE, GPM, and NPM), solvability data (DAR, LTDER, and DER), dividend policy (DPR), and stock price (closing price) from 24 companies, which were selected as samples, from 2011 to 2018. Data was analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. The results show that profitability, solvability, and dividend policy affect changes in stock prices, respectively. On the other hand, profitability and solvability do not affect dividend policy. The indirect relationship (intervening) is assessed using a single test, resulting in a dividend policy that can intervene in the relationship between profitability and stock prices but cannot mediate the relationship between solvability and stock prices. The implication of this research is to provide knowledge to investors about the importance of knowing the company's financial performance. Companies with good financial performance will easily develop because there are sufficient funds for company operations. By analyzing financial ratios, investors can get signals to decide whether to invest in the company they want.

본 연구는 선행연구인 김성민(1997, 2003)의 단기차익가능성 및 그에 따른 시장의 비효율성에 관한 실증결과가 투자자가 주총에서 확정될 배당금에 대해 완전예측할 수 있다는 가정을 전제로 하였다는 한계점을 인식하여 배당락일 이전 현금배당을 사전공시한 기업만을 대상으로 배당락일의 주가행태를 분석하여 배당금의 불확실성을 제거함으로써 보다 명확히 시장의 효율성을 검증하였다는데 이전의 연구와 차별성이 있다. 본 연구는 국내 기업의 현금배당의 사전공시효과를 실증적으로 연구함에 있어 국내에서는 처음으로 현금배당사전공시일을 파악해 정확한 배당공시시점을 사용하여 정보효과를 분석하고, 또한 표본을 하위그룹별로 구체적으로 분석하여 최근에 이르러서야 주주중시경영차원에서 배당에 신경을 쓰게 된 국내 기업 및 투자자에게 배당락일의 주식수익률에 관한 흥미로운 결과를 보여 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 실증분석결과 현금배당 및 주식배당의 정보효과가 사전공시일 전후 유의적으로 나타났으며, 현금배당락 조치 폐지이후인 $1998{\sim}2000$ 회계년도의 표본을 실증분석한 결과 현금배당을 사전공시한 기업의 경우 배당락일의 주식수익률은 가설과 일관되게 음(-)으로 나타났다. 현금배당에 대한 사전공시정보를 이용한 투자자들의 단기차익거래 가능성을 분석한 결과 현금배당을 주식배당과 함께 사전공시한 경우 배당부종가에 매수하여 배당락일 시가(종가)에 매도할 경우 단기차익은 -1.5%(+3.96%)이며, 현금과 동시에 주식배당을 실시하였지만 주식배당만 사전공시한 경우는 0.78%(5.0%)로 나타나 현금배당을 사전공시하지 않을 경우 시장의 금기현금배당금에 대한 예측력이 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다.

Researching the influence and role of CEO overconfidence to dividend policy is important for stock market investors. Therefore, this study was conducted to find out the relationship between CEO overconfidence and dividend policy in industrial enterprises in Vietnam. Data collected from 222 industry enterprises listed on the Vietnam Stock Exchange from 2012 to 2018. Data is collected on financial statements of listed companies. GLS model with panel data is used to analyze regression results. The results show that CEO overconfidence has dividend yield higher than CEO non-overconfidence. At the same time, the dividend payout ratio of enterprises has no difference between CEO overconfidence and CEO non-overconfidence. The results also showed that revenue growth has a positive impact on dividend yield in small enterprises, but negative impact on dividend payout in large enterprises. Research results by firm size have similar results with the general analysis for all enterprises. At the same time, the analysis of ownership type shows that CEO overconfidence has a positive impact on dividend yield of non-state enterprises without affecting other types of enterprises. From these results, the authors also made a number of recommendations to help investors choose businesses to invest in accordance with their strategies.

This study comprehensively investigates whether there is an impact of risk, size, profitability, earnings per share, dividend yield, and book-to-market equity on the stock prices of Jordanian banks listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) for the period 2006-2018. To mitigate endogeneity concerns and to control for within-bank dynamics, panel data fixed effects estimations are used. This study shows that size (SIZE), profitability (ROA), dividend yield (DY) and book-to-market equity (BE/ME) ratios are statistically significant determinants of stock prices. The risk (RISK) factor measured by volatility of ROA has a positive and significant effect on the stock prices, while earnings per share has minimum influence on the stock prices. The results show that ROA has a significant and positive effect and provides the largest effect among all variables used in this study, while the RISK factor has a positive and significant effect. In contrast, SIZE, DY, and BE/ME have a significant negative effect on stock prices. The paper presented new evidence showing that ROA is a better determinant of stock prices in Jordanian banks, and RISK significantly affects stock prices. The researcher recommends using a factor of profitability represented by ROA which has a significant positive effect on the stock prices in Jordanian banks and applying the ROA variable to other sectors.

Purpose - Prior theories predict a negative correlation between stock liquidity and dividend payout propensity. We test this hypothesis by examining the sample Korean retail firms. Research design, data, and methodology - We construct four different types of stock liquidity measures and investigate how these stock liquidity variables affect dividend payout propensity by employing the logit regression model. The retail firms listed in the KOSPI and KOSDAQ markets are analyzed from 1990 to 2015. Results - Our estimation results support the liquidity hypothesis if we adopt the stock turnover rate as the stock liquidity measure, particularly for the retail firms listed in the KOSPI markets and for non-conglomerate firms. Yet, our estimation results adopting the illiquidity measure of Amihud (2002), the proportion of non-trading day, and the volume of trading do not support the liquidity hypothesis. Conclusions - Our findings provide mixed results for the validity of stock liquidity hypothesis, which enriches the existing literature. In terms of turnover rate, the stock liquidity hypothesis holds robustly. Yet, we are not able to find any empirical evidence supporting the hypothesis if we use the other three measures of stock liquidity.
