The results of Pooled OLS model and Random Effects model for panel data analysis has been estimated in this study. The regression result of these models reveals that profitability, size of banks and Inflation rate are negatively related to dividend payout decision of Nepalese commercial banks evidences. It shown that higher the profitability, size of banks and Inflation rate lower would be the dividend payout decisions.
