Are buybacks bad for business? Should firms buy dividends instead, or just not make payouts?
In this episode of All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions, hosts and finance professors
Jonathan Berk and Jules van Binsbergen debunk myths about buybacks. They explain what a
buyback, or share repurchase, is and why companies choose to use them, as well as the
implications of the Inflation Reduction Act’s proposal to assess a 1% tax on buybacks.
