Equity Market Volatility and Expected Risk Premium
This paper revisits the time-series relation between the conditional risk premium and variance of the equity market portfolio. The main innovation is that we construct a measure of the ex ante equity market risk premium using corporate bond yield spread data. This measure is forward-looking and does not rely critically on either realized equity returns or instrumental variables. We find strong ...
متن کاملSome Quantitative Limits For Disaster Risk and Equity Premium Estimates
With 87 years of volatile stock return data, disaster-risk models operate in a narrow band between an ability to lower the equity premium from the historical geometric 5.9% per annum to a more model-appealing 4%, and an equity premium that can no longer be distinguished from zero (risk neutrality) at conventional statistical significance levels. Available below-the-money index option prices lim...
متن کاملMeasuring 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. Our ERP measure helps predict short-term relative returns between stocks and bonds. Over the period we studied, low readings of the ERP tended to adjust back to the mean via a rally in the bond market rather than a fall in stock prices. We do not generalise...

In a simple intertemporal model with moral hazard and uninsured risk, we argue that if financial contracts are properly written, the integration in financial markets could give rise to greater risk sharing arrangement and could eliminate the equity risk premium attribute...
متن کاملCash Flow Risk, Discounting Risk, and the Equity Premium Puzzle
This article investigates the impact of cash flow risk and discounting risk on the aggregate equity premium. Our approach is based on the idea that consumption is hard to measure empirically, so if we substitute out an empirically difficult-to-estimate marginal utility by a pricing kernel of observables, we can evaluate the empirical performance of an equilibrium asset pricing model in a differ...
