520 3 _aWhat factors determine corporate dividend policy? Why has the percentage of net profits paid out as dividends ranged from 35 percent to 65 percent since World War II? These are among the key questions analyzed in this study of the trends in corporate dividends since 1920. These trends have had sig nificant effects not only on the income of stockholders, but also on the value of corporate securities, total investment, and economic growth and stability. The study shows, among other things, that liberalization of deprecia tion allowances raises the level of dividend payments and that increases in individual tax rates or in interest rates lower the level of payments. These findings, the author points out, suggest that effects on dividends should be taken into account in the formulation of fiscal and monetary policy
