Abstract

Purpose: The study aimed to examine the relationship between overconfidence bias and online overdebt behavior across four countries: Indonesia, Hungary, Poland, and Romania. Method: A total of 900 participants were surveyed, with 210–230 participants from each country, ensuring a diverse and heterogeneous sample in terms of age, gender, education level, and income. Data is processed using AMOS 24 software. Findings: The results from the SEM analysis supported all four hypotheses. Overconfidence bias is positively associated with online overdebt behavior, financial literacy moderates the relationship between overconfidence bias and online overdebt behavior, the ease of access to credit via online platforms amplifies the effect of overconfidence on online overdebt behavior, and overconfidence bias is associated with an underestimation of future financial risk in online borrowing. Implications: The significant role of digital credit access suggests that regulators must implement stricter controls on the 'ease-of-borrowing' features in fintech apps to prevent structural factors from amplifying cognitive biases in risky financial decision-making. Novelty/Value: The study’s novelty lies in its cross-continental analysis—spanning Indonesia, Hungary, Poland, and Romania—providing a rare look at relationships online debt behavior. Recent studies have shown that overconfidence can influence consumer decisions in debt markets, such as credit card usage and loans, potentially leading to dangerous overleveraging behaviors. The gap research is the limited study examining the specific mechanisms through which overconfidence influences online overdebt behavior.

Abstract

Dividend policy is an essential component that cannot be separated from a company's profits. In this research, the dividend policy of companies included in the IDX High Dividend 20 stock index will be tested by paying attention to the agency cost factor, which is proxied by free cash flow, ownership dispersion, insider ownership, and asset growth as well as the level of R&D investment carried out. Between 2018 and 2022, 31 companies joined the stock index with the highest dividend yield. This research shows that free cash flow significantly and positively affects dividend policy, and insider ownership significantly and negatively affects dividend policy. Meanwhile, the variables dispersion of ownership, asset growth, and R&D investment do not affect dividend policy. Some of the applications that companies can implement are being able to increase the number of dividends that will be announced by increasing the amount of free cash flow available, considering in detail the potential interests of insider ownership to decide on an appropriate policy, and being able to use internal funds wisely for good purposes. Distribute dividends or make R&D investments.
