The C-CAPM without ex post data
Survey and option data are used to take a fresh look at the equity premium puzzle. Survey data on equity returns (Livingston survey) shows much lower expected excess returns than ex post data.

stocks, stocks with a low-market-to-book ratio, and non-momentum
stocks trade at higher implied volatilities after controlling for histor-

The economics profession apparently was unaware of the looming worldwide financial and economic crisis, and…
