The Equity Risk Premium Controversy

Charles P. Jones, Jack W. Wilson

Open publisher page 7 citations

Abstract

The equity risk premium controversy is a puzzle with implications for investors and money managers. Whatever the arguments about a high equity risk premium in the past, there has been a substantial premium over time on average, although typically not as great a realized premium to investors. There is similarly credible evidence that an equivalent or only slightly lower premium may continue into the future.
