Abstract

This paper uses the UK companies as initial sample to investigate the payout policy and the substitution hypothesis between dividends and share repurchases in the UK. We find the payout choice of a firm is determined by its characteristics. A Lintner's model is used to prove the absence of substitution relationship between dividends and share repurchases in the UK.
