Abstract

The relationships between the market risk premium, its conditional variance and the risk-free rate in the Spanish stock market are studied in this paper. Using daily data, the above mentioned relations are analyzed by quasi maximum likelihood for an EGARCH-M(1,1) model with normal innovations and by nonparametric maximum likelihood for a semiparametric EGARCH-M(1,1) model with arbitrarily distributed innovations. It is worth mentioning that the conclusions differ from one model to the other.
