Abstract
Dividend policy is probably one of the most ed corporate finance issues. This decision has been examined in
terms of its “stability” and “Determinants”. This thesis examines dividend policy stability and determinants of listed
Jordanian banks. Based on the time period 2000-2014, and panel-data analysis (fixed-effect model), the results indicate
that Jordanian banks follow stable dividend policy. In addition, the results reflect that the lagged dividend per share is the
most consistent in its impact on dividend policy. Based on the estimated results, it is recommended that the banking
sector to be compared with other sectors that are listed on the Jordanian stock exchange.
