摘要
We demonstrate analytically that markets tend to react stronger to announcements of dividend cuts vs. increases when dividend payout costs are relatively low. This asymmetry prevails when investors are entirely rational, in contrast to Baker's et al. (2016) prospect-theory-based explanation. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
