@article { , title = {Can we predict dividend cuts?}, abstract = {I examine the predictability of dividend cuts based on the time interval between dividend announcement dates using a large dataset of US firms from 1971 to 2014. The longer the time interval between dividend announcements, the larger the probability of a cut in the dividend per share, consistent with the view that firms delay the release of bad news.}, doi = {10.1016/j.econlet.2016.07.026}, eissn = {0165-1765}, issn = {0165-1765}, journal = {Economics Letters}, note = {REF\_eligibility comment: This paper was accepted for publication on 15/07/2016.
