There is a large number of stock investors, who follow “bird-in-hand” theory, and, therefore, invest in the dividendpaying companies. It can become especially topical for the companies listed in the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) as the region is often associated with the high level of risk, while the dividends can offer certain shield from the price decline. The present research is dedicated to studying dividend payment behaviour of the CEE companies as well as looks into the factors, which determine dividend payment policy.
