Based on evidences from prior management surveys on determinants of dividend policy and empirical evidence on investor\u201fs negative reaction towards dividend cut, we hypothesise that there is a significant positive relationship between expected dividend measured in terms of past dividend payment and dividend policy of the firms. Our sample comprise of 524 firms listed on Malaysian Stock Exchange (Bursa Malaysia) over a period of 5 years. We provide evidence to support prior survey findings. Multivariate results show that expected dividend is positive and it significantly influenced Malaysian firms\u201f dividend payment. The result is consistent with one of the renowned dividend behaviour of smoothing of firm\u201fs dividend vis-\u00e0-vis earnings and growth.<br \/><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>Expected dividend, Dividend Policy, Developing Market<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/abpi.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/23V391201.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Download PDF<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p><\/div>                <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"htmega-toggle-button\">\n                    <a href=\"#\" class=\"togglebutton-7cb8f50 normal_btn\">Preview Abstract<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-chevron-circle-down\"><\/i><\/a><a href=\"#\" class=\"togglebutton-7cb8f50 opened_btn\">Close<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-chevron-circle-up\"><\/i><\/a>                <\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n            <script>\n                jQuery(document).ready(function($) {\n                    'use strict';\n                    $(\".togglebutton-7cb8f50\").on('click', function(){\n                        $(\".htmega-toggle-content-7cb8f50\").slideToggle('slow');\n                        $(this).removeAttr(\"href\");\n                        $(this).parent().toggleClass(\"open\");\n                    });\n                });\n            <\/script>\n        \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16c54ff e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"16c54ff\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-89c4e5b exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"89c4e5b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>2.

In addition, the empirical results in this research offer some information for Taiwan\u2019s cultural innovation movies industry to use norms, narratives, and sales promotion to magnify the influence factors of word of mouth. People can also focus on their brand image and brand familiarity to greaten their influence of WOM to be spread goodly in society.

The results show that there are long run and short run relationships among the variables in the model. The estimated elasticity coefficients of CO2 emissions, energy consumption, and employment ratio have positive and significant impacts on GDP in the long run. The results for direction of causality indicate that neither carbon emissions per capita nor energy consumption per capita cause GDP per capita, but employment ratio causes GDP per capita in the short run. On the basis of our empirical findings, it can be concluded that energy conservation policies and controlling carbon dioxide emissions, are likely to have no adverse effect on economic growth in Saudi Arabia in the short run. However, the long run income elasticity of carbon emissions is greater than the short run income elasticity of carbon emissions, which implies that in the long run income leads to greater carbon dioxide emissions in the country.<\/p><p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> GDP; CO2; energy; causality; ARDL; VECM.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/abpi.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/23V391203.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Download PDF available soon....<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p><\/div>                <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"htmega-toggle-button\">\n                    <a href=\"#\" class=\"togglebutton-359ec0e normal_btn\">Preview Abstract<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-chevron-circle-down\"><\/i><\/a><a href=\"#\" class=\"togglebutton-359ec0e opened_btn\">Close<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-chevron-circle-up\"><\/i><\/a>                <\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n            <script>\n                jQuery(document).ready(function($) {\n                    'use strict';\n                    $(\".togglebutton-359ec0e\").on('click', function(){\n                        $(\".htmega-toggle-content-359ec0e\").slideToggle('slow');\n                        $(this).removeAttr(\"href\");\n                        $(this).parent().toggleClass(\"open\");\n                    });\n                });\n            <\/script>\n        \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>December 2023 Volume 39 Issue 12 1.
