| Research Abstract |
In a series of analyses, we made an analysis on the equity premium and risk-free rate puzzles using Japanese data. The Hansen and Singleton model fails to explain the equity premium puzzle, while the trading costs model can satisfactory explain the equity premium and risk-free rate puzzles. After 1996 Big Bang, household portfolio behavior has gradually changed. Japan needs to achieve a modern financial system consistent with the goals of the Big Bang.
