We estimate the equity risk premium (ERP) by combining information from twenty models. The ERP in 2012 and 2013 reached heightened levels - of around 12 percent - not seen since the 1970s. We conclude that the high ERP was caused by unusually low Treasury yields.

The New Keynesian Phillips curve (NKPC) asserts that inflation depends on expectationsof real marginal costs, but … empirical research has shown that purely forward-looking versions of the model generate too little inflation persistence. In … this paper, we offer a resolution of the persistence problem. We hypothesize that inflation is highly persistent because of …
