Multiple correlation matrix and penal data analysis techniques have been used to study determinates of dividend policy. Hausman test has also been used to select between random effect model and fixed effect model. Hausman test suggested that random effect mode is appropriate. Result of correlation matrix suggested that DPR is insignificantly correlated with CR, QR and firm size.
