Recent studies by Dhaliwal et al. (2001) and Hanlon, Myers, and Shevlin (2001) raise questions regarding the dividend tax capitalization results in several of my prior studies. In this paper, I clarify the basic concepts underlying dividend tax capitalization and I provide point-by-point responses to the key concerns raised. I demonstrate that there are simple, unambiguous answers to each of the expressed concerns. I also demonstrate that the new evidence provided by Dhaliwal et al. (2001) and Hanlon, Myers, and Shevlin (2001) actually provides addtional support for dividend tax capitalization.
