Sir g iam your student of MSc Finance 4th semester plz sir gee help me out i have selected a topic “Comparison of cash polices between public and private firms: i wasnt able to find relevant research papers on the above topic plzz sir i should be very thankful to you.
Sohrab, this is an area of research that has attracted much less attention. And the primary reason is that data is usually not available for private firms, as these firms are not required the the SECP to report their financial data. I wonder whether you will be able to obtain such data. As a starting point, you can read this paper and use it for backward and forward chaining of literature. https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/comparing-the-cash-policies-of-public-and-private-firms
