ISU General Staff Papers from Iowa State University, Department of Economics

Abstract: This dissertation consists of three individual chapters. Chapter 1 documents that market responds negatively to dividend cuts and positively to dividend increases. Chapter 2 finds that firms hierarchally cut dividends and repurchases to meet their investment, or capital expenditure needs. Based on the analysis of Chapters 1 and 2, Chapter 3 discusses the discrepancy between firms and the market when firms adjust dividends, and shows that firms take advantage of this discrepancy to buy back shares.
