Popis: Kadioglu, Eyup/0000-0001-7836-868X WOS:000425013300004 This study tests the validity of the free cash flow hypothesis in the context of firms traded on Borsa Istanbul. The study applies a panel regression to a data set composed of 1267 observations from 227 companies during the period 2008-2014. The results reveal a significant, negative correlation between dividends per share and free cash flow. Likewise, a significant, inverse relationship is found between leverage and free cash flow. Thus, the results support the free cash flow hypothesis. Copyright (C) 2017, Borsa Istanbul Anonim Sirketi. Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V.
