This study aims to observe the effects of financial metrics, free float shareholders, GDP growth and firm age on dividend payout policy in both the short- and long-term scenarios. The study introduces the dynamic panel regression models, i.e. Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) for time series data and Weighted Least Squares (WLS) to account for autocorrelation and heteroscedasticity limitation. The dataset includes all companies listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand during the years 2013-2023. The study finds that in the long-term, GDP growth negatively relates to dividend payout policy in all industrial sectors. Financial metrics, free float shareholders, GDP growth and firm age affect a mixed picture of industrial sectors on dividend payout policy. In the short-term, previous dividend payments significantly influence dividend payment policy. Furthermore, a higher debt-to-equity ratio, firm age, and free cashflows influence dividend payout policy in various industrial sectors. Also shown by the analysis is that factors influence short-run adjustment to half-life analysis.

This study investigates the impact of sustainable development on the relevance of accounting information and financial activities of companies listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET). The results reveal that earnings per share and book value per share have a positive effect on market value, implying that higher earnings signal strong financial performance, thereby attracting more investor interest. Short-term and long-term debt financing have a negative effect on market value, suggesting that debt financing leads to increased financial risk.

In this research paper, we conduct an examination of the impact of green investments on dividend policies within both polluting and environmentally friendly firms. Utilizing two distinct model assumptions, we analyze a global sample of firms from 21 countries spanning the period from 2013 to 2022 to derive our primary empirical findings and perform robustness tests. Our analysis incorporates two estimation techniques: Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and System-GMM (Generalized Method of Moments).

This study examines whether the volatility of tax payments is associated with dividend payouts. Consistent with the predictions, results suggest that firms with more volatile tax payments are less likely to pay dividends overall and their dividends are lower in magnitude when doing so.

In this paper we empirically investigate dividends and repurchases of the UK, and the overarching pattern reveals that their determinants are more driven by payout size than they are by payout type. The overall corporate payout policy is influenced by the operating performance and tax framework. Aggregately, the determinants of dividends and repurchases are heterogenous, and for each payout's individual testing the determinants have shown varying influences when controlled for payout size; small, medium and large.
