摘要
This paper investigates the dynamics of cross-listing and dividend policy. Using a sample of 19,200 firm-year observations for the period 1990-2019, we find that cross-listed firms are less likely to distribute dividends, adopt more stable policy and pay more cash compared to their non-cross-listed peers. We also show that firms originated from poor legal environment have a stable policy and pay more dividend. Finally, we find that cross-listed firms with more dividend payment exhibit higher valuations.
