Bloomberg and FnGuide provide equity risk premium in the Korean equity market to their customers. Using the Bloomberg equity risk premium of the 17 OECD countries, we investigate the determinants of the equity risk premium which have been proposed in the literature. The results of the panel analysis confirm that the unemployment rate, dividend yield, long term government yield, and VIX are statistically significant explanatory variables of the equity risk premium. In the Korean stock market, however, the equity risk premium provided by FnGuide appears to be associated with these determinants. The Bloomberg equity risk premium is not explained by any of these variables.
