The purpose of this study was to determine the current estimation of ex-ante equity risk premium in Finland by using relatively new Earn Back Period model. For comparison reason an ex-post equity risk premium estimate is calculated. Finnish 5-year Government Bond yield is used as a risk-free rate input in both methods.
