Investment Returns in the Long Run: Evidence from Belgium 1838-2010.

We investigate long run investment returns for stocks, government bonds and cash. Our analysis is based on a (worldwide) unique database which covers all securities ever listed on the Brussels Exchange / Euronext Brussels in the period 1838-2010. We construct new, value weighted return indices for government bonds and analyze the equity risk premium and term premium.
