Abstract: | Firms that increase (decrease) dividends experience a significant decline (increase) in their systematic risk. The dividend increasing firms do not increase their capital expenditure and experience a decline in profitability in the years after the dividend change. The positive market reaction to a dividend increae is significantly related to the subsequent decline in systematic risk. |
