This is impossible to talk of “the” market premium for Spain. A market risk premium is the incremental return an investor demands by shares, above the return on risk-free bonds. Here is a market risk premium of each investor, but this is impossible to talk about a market risk premium of the market.

So as to be able to talk regarding a market risk premium of the market it would be essential that all investors had identical one. Conversely, the term “risk premium” is used to describe four different concepts: the incremental needed return above fixed-income, the expectation of differential return, the implicit market risk premium and the differential historical return.
