The drivers of dividend policies

The research group intends to analyze the different theories that are considered relevant to explain how companies define their dividend policies. Therefore, after this analysis, using the data found in the databases, twe have searched the compatibility of the theories with the decisions that were actually taken in the companies. This made it possible to study the consequences of dividend policies on other financial decisions. A comparison of the various policies in the various financial markets is also envisaged. The main publications of the group are the following:
