Monetary policy may have bolstered stock prices in two ways, either lowering the discount rate by compressing the equity risk premium, or simply reducing risk free rates for long enough to raise the present value of stocks. In either case, equity prices should level off at some point, allowing earnings to catch up, or even correct downward.

The BOJ would be right to worry, of course, if interest rates were rising because of a growing risk premium, rather than because of higher inflation expectations. The risk premium could rise, for example, if investors became uncertain about whether Kuroda would adhere to his commitment.

Premium and method of premium payment

When investors make less risky loans, they require a lower risk premium , thereby reducing the cost of borrowing to the borrower.

Moreover, if Italians held all Italian public debt, any increase in the risk premium would be less burdensome.

With the risk premium at current levels, there is a real danger that Greece may not be able to extricate itself from its predicament, regardless of what it does, because further budget cuts would further depress economic activity, reducing tax revenues and worsening the debt to GDP ratio.

In addition, international financial markets perceive Colombia s economy as being fundamentally sound. The current risk premium for government borrowing in international markets is very similar to that paid by Peru and Brazil, and much less than that demanded of Argentina, Venezuela, and Ecuador.

Freed from exchange rate risk, international investors no longer demanded a risk premium from these countries and were willing to provide funds to all of them under the same favorable conditions that previously had been reserved for Germany.

But the risk sharing inherent to Islamic finance made such instruments more resistant to the first round of financial contagion that hit in 2008.

While the enormous volume of the bank debt implies that governments should shy away from socializing banking risks, it also suggests that only the banks creditors could reasonably be asked to foot the bill without being overburdened. Indeed, if, as some believe, only a fraction of the banks equity is at risk, the potential debt equity swaps would be minuscule.

In some countries with high levels of debt and impaired growth, fiscal stimulus could raise the risk premium on sovereign debt and be counterproductive others have more flexibility. Countries vary widely in terms of household balance sheet damage, which clearly affects the propensity to save and hence the multiplier effect.

Lack of equity capital, in turn, made risk averse shareholders hire gamblers to manage their limited liability investment companies. The managers chose overly risky operations, because they knew that the shareholders would not participate symmetrically in the risks.

On the contrary, economic theorists have been puzzled by the historical rate of increase in the stock market, which they call the equity premium puzzle.
