Using data sample of 243 IPO firms during 2009-2012, the study find that these firms' dividend policies do not contribute to investment horizons in the listing market, and both dividend rates and investment horizons vary across mdustry sectors. In addition, a majority ofthese firms failed to fulfill their dividend policies.
