Abstract

Considering the individual characteristics of chairman and organizational environment, this paper constructs a comprehensive evaluation index as proxy measure of chairman overconfidence and develops a panel regression model to empirically examine the impact of chairman overconfidence on corporate dividend policy. The results show that there is a notable negative correlation relationship between overconfidence behavior of the chairman and the dividend payout policy in China’s listed companies. Relative to the rational chairman, overconfident chairman will be less likely to pay cash dividend.
