Measuring the equity risk premium
We use surveys of economic forecasts to derive a forward-looking estimate of the US equity risk premium (ERP) relative to government bonds.

Uncertainty over property rights arises through risk of confiscation on sustainably-managed forest land, and ...

This paper revisits the time-series relation between the conditional risk premium and variance of the equity market portfolio.
