“…The coefficient of the dividend yield variable is positive (0.6176) and statistically significant at the 1% level of significance (t-statistic= 13.0690), suggesting that companies that have high-dividend yield stocks (which are most likely to attract potential arbitrageurs) have their shares negotiated at higher prices on the ex-dividend day. This positive relationship is a sign of short-term trading hypothesis and is consistent with predictions of other studies (e.g., Frank and Jagannathan (1998), Kadapakkam and Martinez (2008) and Dasilas (2009)) and rejects the tax hypothesis.…”

The explanation above is in line with Dasilas et al [9] that shows that dividend policy positively affects firm value. In this research, only Malaysia and Phillipina confirm the dividend policy positively impact the firms' value.…”

“…for the 95% (100%) sample, the mean AR on the ex-day is 1.18% (1.15%) for the 95% (100%) sample and their hypothetical values are rejected at 1% significance level. These findings agree with previous empirical research on the ex-day behaviour of Greek listed firms done by Milonas and Travlos (2001) for the 1994-1999 period and Dasilas (2009) for the 2000-2004 period. These results significantly contradict the hypothesized PDR (≥ 1) according to the tax hypothesis (Elton and Gruber (1970)).…”
