>but i don't think that's the real reason dividend yields have declined.

In fact to go one step further, can't one argue that, on the whole, corporations are paying about the same dividends as >10 years ago by the measure that matters - payout ratio (no sane company would set the dividend as a yield and be forced to increase it just because the stock went up)? Specifically, if dividend yields (div/P) are ~ half what they were and P/E are ~ double what they were then div/E hasn't changed much on the whole. Does anyone have historical payout ratio data?
