Abstract:
This study aims to Explore Whether Information Asymmetry Premium (IAP) as the foundation of the investors' desire in the dividend increased decision is strong than the dividend initiation decision. This study finds that IAP can significantly complement the dividend increased decision and substitute dividend premium for dividend initiation. The results of the study support Li and Lie (2006) and Chazi et al. (2018), WHO Fleshed Out Baker and Wurgler (2004B). The Findings of this study show that the investor's desire towards dividend increased reflects investor sentiment on dividends, explants through the level of information asymmetry between dividend payers and non-payers. Further analysis shows that irrational investor behavior in expecting dividend increased to be paid continuously is significant comparated to dividend initiation. This Research Contributs to Behavioral Finance Research in Bonding Dividend Catering Incentives and Dividend Signaling Theory.
