Abstract
This chapter provides a historical perspective on one of the first qualitative studies in finance. The Lintner (1956) model of dividend payments and policy is one of the first qualitative studies in financial economics and the most enduring. Lintner (1956) sought to find the determinants of dividend payments and policy through interviews with corporate executives. Using the results of this qualitative study, Lintner formulated a model that expresses how companies pay dividends. This model is still in use over 60 years since its development.
