Equity Premium: Historical, Expected, Required and Implied

Abstract: The equity premium designates four different concepts: Historical Equity Premium (HEP); Expected Equity Premium (EEP); Required Equity Premium (REP); and Implied Equity Premium (IEP). We highlight the confusing message in the literature regarding the equity premium and its evolution. The confusion arises from not distinguishing among the four concepts and from not recognizing that although the HEP is equal for all investors, the REP, the EEP and the IEP differ for different investors. A unique IEP requires ass… Show more

“…We assume that investment decisions are made by profit-seeking local investors, who randomly draw investment projects that last for three periods: 0 (the planning period), 1 (the short term) and 2 (the long term). 5 Fernandez (2015) adopts a similar method to construct a detailed data set on capital controls. However, their capital control measures consist of 10 different types of capital flows, some of which measure financial assets that are rarely used in most countries.…”

“…This default spread is added on the mature market premium to arrive at the total ERP for Greece in 2011, assuming the mature market premium being Germany's for the reasons explained above. To get to the historical risk premium of Germany (considered as a mature market) we used the values presented in Table 3 of Dimson et al (2006) as cited in Fernández (2006), specifically the geometric mean of the yield of a ten-year German Government Bond; that is 5.28%. Greece's default spread for the year 2011 was 7% (Damodaran, 2014b), hence the total ERP for Greece in 2011 was ERP = 5.28 + 7 = 12.28%.…”
