Abstract

This paper investigates the equity risk premium puzzle in the Indonesian and Sri Lankan stock markets in order to identify the relationship between the volatility of excess returns and the equity risk premium. The asymmetric impact of negative shocks on the equity risk premium is also examined using threshold and exponential GARCH-M models. We analyse data on the excess returns of the Indonesian and Sri Lankan stock markets from 2004 to 2013, and we find that the impact of the conditional volatility of excess returns on the equity risk premium is not significant in either country. Instead, we find an impact from negative return shocks on the equity risk premium only in Sri Lanka. Therefore, we conclude that investors are not compensated for the conditional volatility of the excess returns in these two markets, while Sri Lankan investors are compensated for the risk of negative shocks.

Tulisan ini menginvestigasi teka-teki equity risk premium (ERP) pada pasar saham Indonesia dan Sri Lanka guna mengidentifikasi hubungan antara volatilitas excess returns dan ERP. Dampak asimetris dari goncangan negatif atas ERP juga ditelaah dengan menggunakan model-model GARCH-M ambang batas dan eksponensial. Penulis menggunakan data excess returns pada pasar saham Indonesia dan Sri Lanka pada 2004 – 2013 dan menemukan bahwa dampak dari volatilitas kondisional dari excess returns pada EPR tidak signifikan di kedua negara. Sebaliknya, penulis menemukan dampak dari guncangan negatif pada EPR hanya terjadi di Sri Lanka. Oleh karenanya, kami menyimpulkan bahwa investor tidak terkompensasi atas volatilitas kondisional dari excess returns di kedua pasar, namun investor Sri Lanka terkompensasi atas risiko dari guncangan negative.
