(2013, neutral): “Our religious measures can also borrow support from prior studies that find geographic dissemination has special information content (Du 2012; El Ghoul et al. 2012a; John et al. 2011; Loughran 2007).”
Employee Rights and Acquisitions (2015, positive): “The dividend dummy and debt ratio are included as proxies for disciplinary mechanisms that can remedy free cash flow problems (e.g., Jensen (1986); Smith and Watts (1992); John, Knyazeva, and Knyazeva (2011)).”
Effect of institutional ownership on dividends: An agency-theory-based analysis (2016, positive): “For example, John, Knyazeva, and Knyazeva (2011) show that rural firms have weaker governance mechanisms and pre-commit to higher dividend payouts to mitigate agency conflicts.”

Do Firms’ Relationships with Principal Customers/Suppliers Affect Shareholders' Income? (2012, neutral): “Based on Jensen's (1986) classic free cash flow argument, the existing literature on payout policy (for example, John et al., 2011a, 2011b; Knyazeva, 2008) suggests that dividends are used to disburse free cash flow, thereby mitigating manager–shareholder conflicts.”

Religion, the Nature of Ultimate Owner, and Corporate Philanthropic Giving: Evidence from China (2014, positive): “Firms that have high levels of philanthropic giving may also want to locate in highly religious regions to obtain support from labor, production inputs, customers, and suppliers (Loughran and Schultz 2005; Loughran 2007; John et al. 2011; El Ghoul et al. 2012b; Du 2012).”
