| Summary: | This paper aims to investigate the influence of political connection on Dividend Policy in
Indonesia. We used Indonesia listed firms that are selected in KOMPAS 100 index for five
consecutive years from 2013 – 2017, the total is 330 observation and consist of 66 firms. Using
GLS and Logistic regression we find a positive influence of political connection on dividend in
Indonesia. The political connection effect is analyzed based on the different characteristics of
ownership structure, and board structure. Interestingly, we find Stated Owned Enterprises have a
positive relationship with the dividend policy, also the evidence shows that politically connected
of board director are more likely to spend higher dividend than politically connected of board
commissioners. Furthermore, larger firm and with high Tobin's q are more likely to spend higher
in the dividend. The findings are robust using different measures of political connection and
controls. |
