Abstract:	Our paper reveals that family-controlled firms pay less cash dividends than non-family-controlled firms in Taiwan, which differs from moderating proxy problems by increasing dividend payouts due to reduced free cash flow. These family-controlled firms might not be regarded as a problem due to the improved corporate governance and high firm value in Taiwan, which is contrary to relevant studies. Dividend payouts for family-controlled firms in the West and East, such as asset allocation, might be affected by various factors, including culture, nationality, and philosophy, which are seldom considered deliberately in existing literature.
