| Tiivistelmä: | In this paper, new international evidence on the relationship btw. dividend policy and insider ownership is provided. Analyzed is a sample of USA, UK and Irish firms characterized by an Anglo-Saxon (here as: A-S.) tradition and a matching sample of other EU companies from Civil Law (as: C-L.) legal systems. It is found that while in firms with an A-S. tradition the relation btw. dividends and insider ownership follows the pattern negative-positive-negative, in C-L. countries the relation is positive-negative-positive. These results are consistent with the hypotheses. |
