Abstract: | A theory of the choice of method of corporate cash disbursement is developed. Despite the preferential tax treatment of capital gains for individual investors, it is shown that a majority of a firm's shareholders may support a dividend payment for small distributions. For larger distributions an open market stock re-purchase is likely to be preferred by a majority of shareholders, and for the largest distributions tender offer re-purchases dominate. |
