Abstract

Based on the framework of the dynamic adjustment model, this paper examines the impact of dividend policies and financing strategies on the speed of capital structure adjustment and explores the relationship between dividend distribution and financing behavior. The empirical results show that if the firm pays less cash dividends, the capital structure adjustment speed is faster, and the dividend distribution behavior conflicts with financing needs. If the firm pays more cash dividends, the capital structure adjustment speed is slower, and the high dividend policy conflicts with market timing financing strategies. In a word, the behavior of dividend distribution has a significant impact on the speed of capital structure adjustment, and the conflict between dividend distribution and financing strategy affects the speed of capital structure adjustment. This paper provides a new perspective for optimizing capital structure, regulating dividend distribution, and evaluating the rationality of financing behavior.
