Empirical evidence of positive functional correlation of dividend policy changes with future changes of earnings per share is provided by the data panel studied. The functional estimation of the dividend annual increment per share, in all the companies of the sample, is obtained by implementing a functional version of Kalman filtering algorithm in an Autoregressive Hilbertian (ARH(1)) process framework.}, organization = {This work hasbeen supported inpartbyprojects MTM2009-13393 oftheDGI,MEC, and P09-FQM-5052 of the Andalousian CICE, Spain.}, publisher = {Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
