The dividend distributed by a firm to its shareholder is very different when it is viewed from the perspective of the company’s life cycle. If no regulation forces, then firms at initial stage have higher investment opportunities, so they retain all their earning and pay no dividend. The firms at maturity stage have less investment opportunities, slow pace of growth rate and lower cost of raising external capital, hence, mature firms retain less and pays higher dividend. Life cycle hypothesis suggests that firm increases their dividend with their maturity. This study investigates the dividend behaviour of Nepalese commercial banks, by using the ten years panel data for the period from 2010 to 2019. Using conventional proxies of life cycle, the result of the study consistently shows that Nepalese listed commercial bank follow dividend life cycle theory. The result also shows that larger firms pay higher dividend and dividend history has positive relation with next period dividend payment. The result is robust and such robustness check has been conducted by altering some of the proxies of the variables. The result of the study suggest that the regulators should not impose same dividend policy to the entire banking industry.","PeriodicalId":372963,"journal":{"name":"NRB Economic Review","volume":"9 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130148492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cross-sectional analysis has been carried out using a dataset of 2018 with 5,645 households across 50 districts of Nepal. The logit regression model has been used to determine the relationship between poverty and remittances. About 38 percent of rural households received remittances in 2018. About 65 percent of households headed by females received remittance compared to 30 percent of households headed by male counterparts. About 41 percent, 31 percent, and 32 percent of households living in the Hilly region, Terai, and Himalayan region respectively received remittance in 2018. About 1 in every 5 households in rural Nepal is poor. The probability of households falling into poverty reduces by 4.8 percent with a one percent rise in household assets. Remittance receiving households are 2.3 percent less likely to get caught in poverty as compared to remittance non-receiving households. The probability of households plunging into poverty decreases by about 1.1 percent with every 10 percent increase in remittance inflows to households.","PeriodicalId":372963,"journal":{"name":"NRB Economic Review","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127782701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study employs the system GMM to a panel of bank-level data covering the period from 2004-2018. The results show that the stability of the Nepalese banking industry improved during the early years of the study period, i.e., 2004-2007; however, it exhibited a decaying trend for the rest of the study period. The analysis reveals that the major factors responsible for this deterioration are capital adequacy, asset quality, and earnings of the banks. Most of the dimensions have shown improvements during the initial years of the study period; however, this trend reversed post-2007.The study groups the banks into three categories: stable, moderately stable, and less stable banks as per their respective stability score. The estimation results indicate that a positive bank stability persistence exists in the Nepalese banking industry. Results suggest that credit growth has a negative impact on the stability of the banks. The results of the study support the concentration-stability hypothesis. Income diversification appears to have a positive impact on the stability of the banks. Findings disclose that inflation is playing a crucial role in impacting the stability of the banks. The study reveals that the GFC had no significant impact on the stability of the Nepalese banking industry.","PeriodicalId":372963,"journal":{"name":"NRB Economic Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127348769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
