Summary:碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 會計研究所 === 99 === We investigate whether there is any difference between family and non-family firms on dividend policy. Consistent with my predictions, the results indicate that family firms are generally different from non-family firms in both cash and stock dividend policies. We find that family firms are less likely to pay dividends and tend to pay less dividends. Also, family firms are less likely to increase cash dividends. These findings are more pronounced when family firms have less market share.
