"William Goetzmann and Roger Ibbotson have produced a searching and
comprehensive analysis of how history reveals the forces that shape
risk and return in the stock market. But HURRAH! their work is also
eminently readable. All investors, economic historians, and
financial academics should read this book--and hurry up about
it."--Peter L. Bernstein, Publisher of Economics and Portfolio
Strategy and Consulting Editor of The Journal of Portfolio
Management
"Understanding the stock market is really about understanding the
premium that investors demand for holding stocks over less risky
assets. Not surprisingly, then, the 'equity premium puzzle' i.e.,
the seemingly inexplicably high historical excess returns on the
stock market, has become a focus of extensive research and debate.
To quote Goetzmann and Ibbotson, 'history matters,' and with the
deceptively simple act of putting it together, they have shown us
just
how much it does and how much we can learn from the past. They have
also staked their position firmly in the camp of those who believe
that with careful statistical analysis of the historical
record,
and, in particular, with a clear understanding of the role of
survivorship bias, the puzzle can be explained. Whatever prior
views they may hold, both the professional and the interested
amateur will learn much from this work."--Stephen A. Ross, Franco
Modigliani Professor of Finance and Economics, MIT
