PHẦN B. ONE-SENTENCE PAPER MESSAGE

Precautionary story

Higher tourism uncertainty leads exposed firms to conserve liquidity by reducing cash payouts, especially when financing constraints are tight.

Signaling story

Firms maintain or increase dividends when tourism uncertainty rises, using payout stability to reassure investors under heightened sector uncertainty.

Exposure story

Tourism uncertainty has limited average payout effects but substantially changes dividend policy among firms whose operations are directly exposed to tourism.

Payout-flexibility story

Firms respond to tourism uncertainty first through flexible payout margins such as dividend growth or repurchases, while cash dividends remain sticky.

PHẦN E. ABSTRACT TEMPLATE — NEGATIVE RESULT

We examine whether tourism-specific uncertainty affects corporate dividend policy. Using [N] firm-year observations from [countries] over [period] and the Tourism Uncertainty Index of Ongan et al. (2026), we analyze cash dividends, dividend-paying decisions, and dividend cuts or omissions. Our baseline specifications relate country-level TUI to subsequent payout outcomes using firm and year fixed effects, while stronger tests interact TUI with predetermined tourism exposure and absorb country-year shocks. We find that higher tourism uncertainty is associated with lower corporate payouts, with a one-standard-deviation increase in TUI corresponding to [economic magnitude]. The effect is strongest among [tourism-exposed / low-cash / financially constrained] firms and is consistent with a precautionary liquidity channel. These findings show that tourism-specific uncertainty contains incremental information for corporate payout policy beyond broader economic and geopolitical uncertainty.

PHẦN F. ABSTRACT TEMPLATE — EXPOSURE RESULT

We examine how tourism uncertainty shapes corporate payout decisions. Using country-level TUI and an international firm panel, we find limited evidence of a uniform payout response across all firms. However, tourism-exposed firms adjust dividends significantly more when TUI rises, even in specifications with country-by-year fixed effects. The response occurs through [payout margin] and is strongest among [group], consistent with [channel]. The results indicate that the corporate-finance effects of tourism uncertainty depend on firms’ underlying economic exposure rather than the aggregate shock alone.
