    Abstract

     

     

    Management overconfidence and dividend policy

    in companies admitted to the Tehran Stock Exchange

     

    Overconfident managers find external financing expensive and hence offset future investment needs by reducing current interest payments. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between overconfidence of management and the dividend policy of companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during the years 1382-1391. The first hypothesis has been tested using linear regression. In testing the second and third hypothesis, regression and Wald test were used. The results show that there is a negative relationship between management overconfidence and dividend policy. Management overconfidence affects the relationship between free cash flow, growth opportunities and information asymmetry with dividend policy. The market reaction is more positive to the news of dividend increase made by overconfident management.
