Dr Richard Fairchild, Lecturer in Corporate Finance, has been selected for a Highly Commended Award in the Literati Network Awards for Excellence 2011.
Richard’s paper, ‘Dividend policy signalling and free cashflow: An integrated approach’, was published in Managerial Finance.
It has been argued that our understanding of dividend policy is hindered by the lack of a model that integrates the signalling hypothesis and the free cash-flow hypothesis. In his paper, Richard addresses this by developing a theoretical dividend model that combines these motives, shedding light on the complex relationship between dividend policy, managerial incentives and firm value.
The award winning papers were chosen following consultation amongst the journal’s Editorial Team, many of whom are eminent academics or managers. Richard’s paper was selected as it was one of the most impressive pieces of work the team had seen throughout 2010.
