Abstract
⺠We examine the determinants of share buyback announcements in Europe. ⺠A cross country analysis is performed with unique hand collected data. ⺠Differences in country characteristics significantly affect share buybacks. ⺠Size, ownership concentration and dividends have a significant impact on buybacks. ⺠Our models have a predictive accuracy of share buybacks of more than 70%.
