On the Distribution of the Sum of n Non-Identically Distributed Uniform Random Variables
The distribution of the sum of independent identically distributed uniform
random variables is well-known. However, it is sometimes necessary to analyze
data which have been drawn from different uniform distributions. By inverting
the characteristic function, we derive explicit formulae for the distribution
of the sum of n non-identically distributed uniform random variables in both
the continuous and the discrete case. The results, though involved, have a
certain elegance. As examples, we derive from our general formulae some special
cases which have appeared in the literature.Comment: 20 page
Dividend Behaviour of Indian Companies Under Monetary Policy Restrictions
In this study we examine the dividend behaviour of Indian companies. We use GMM estimator, which is the most suitable methodology in a dynamic setting. Our results show that the Indian firms have lower target ratios and higher adjustment factors. The most significant result is that the restricted monetary policies have significant influence on the dividend behaviour of Indian firms, causing about 5-6 percent reduction in the payout ratios. The significance of macro economic policy variable suggest that monetary policy restrictions do have impact on cost of raising funds, and the information asymmetry between lenders and borrowers increases that forces companies to reduce their dividend payout.
