Global Business and Economics Review (GBER), Vol. 28, No. 1, 2023

Abstract: In the present study, we investigate the influence of corporate governance quality on the dividend policy of Asian emerging markets. First, we assess the level of corporate governance quality through a comprehensive index comprised of the combined board governance attributes (board of directors, ownership status, and progressive practices) and firm fundamentals through attributes of financial ratios. Then, using a sample of non-financial firms from the stock exchanges of the respective emerging markets (China, India, and Pakistan), our results depict firms' corporate governance quality as a relevant factor for dividend pay-out.
