The paper presents cross-country statistical comparisons of key indicators of dividend decisions of public companies on several capital markets (companies which constitute stock market indices) in 2001–2014. Dividend practice of four European countries with comparable number of public companies (Russia, Poland, Germany and France) is compared in details. Dividend practice of Russian public companies is analyzed in comparison with trends in global capital markets (USA, European countries, BRIC). Common features and specifics of dividend choice of companies are revealed for a broad set of indicators.
Keywords:
