Conference Paper

Financial market risk premiums: time variation and macroeconomic links, Federal Reserve Board, Washington, D.C., July 21-22, 2005

Abstract: Risk premiums are a critical component of asset pricing relationships, summarizing the interaction among investor preferences, expected asset payoffs, and fundamental uncertainty. The Federal Reserve Board, as both a producer and consumer of risk premium measures, is an ideal facilitator of a wide-ranging discussion of the latest advances in this area. The conference program selected this year focuses on the equity risk premium, consumption risk, and market volatility.
