Why do stock prices drop by less than the value of the dividend? Evidence from a country without taxes
Article Abstract:
Taxation appeared to have an impact with regards to the behavior of stock prices in relation to dividend value. Stock prices tend to drop to less than the value of the dividend in countries where capital gains and dividends are not being taxed. At Hong Kong stock market, an average decline of HK$0.06 in stock prices was recorded between 1980 to 1993 in relation to an average dividend of HK$0.12.
