The dividend policy is importante because it covers the decision-making to distribute or not volumes of financial resources through dividendo or of interest over own capital in differentiate percentuals and tributation differentiate options in the Brazilian case. The objective of this work was to identify which factors impact the payout index, as size, liquidity, rentability, debt, investment, profit, revenue and concentration. To analize these aspects, the quantile regression technique was used, with data from the Economatica base and enterprises represented at BM&F Bovespa in the period from 2009 to 2013, comprehending 3.073 observations. The estimatives allow to conclude that: a) there is a positive ralation between enterprise size and the dependent variable in all the quantiles; b) the liquidity variable had a positive relation with the payout variable in the 0.5 and 0.75 quantile;c)the renatibility presented a positive relation fom the quantile 0,5 on;d)negative relation from the 0.5 quantile on; e) a negative relation in the quantile 0.75 and 0.9 with investment;f)the net profit presented a negative relation in the quantile 0.5;g)the revenue presented a positive relation in the median and 0.9 quantile;h)the concentration didn’t presented statistic significance at 1%, but there was verifyed a positive relation in the 0.75 and 0.9 quantile and negative in the others;i)Two dummys, one finantial that presented a positive relation in the quantile 0.1 and 0.5 and the dummy of the enterprises that distribute proceeds even with losses had a negative and stronger association with the variable payout. All the relations described show how the variable payout had varyed according to the modifications of the described variables above.
