Myopic Loss Aversion and the Equity Premium Puzzle [PDF]

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of Economics, 1995
Summary: The equity premium puzzle refers to the empirical fact that stocks have outperformed bonds over the last century by a surprisingly large margin.

Disaggregation and the equity premium puzzle

Journal of Empirical Finance, 2020
Abstract Standard macroeconomic models cannot explain why stocks so greatly outperform bonds. However, this result depends on the use of aggregate consumption data.
