Abstract
⺠We measure ambiguity aversion in a large survey in 45 countries. ⺠Ambiguity aversion is strongly correlated with the equity risk premium. ⺠This gives empirical evidence to theoretical models of the equity premium puzzle. ⺠Ambiguity aversion itself is connected to the “Uncertainty Avoidance Index”. ⺠Cultural factors seem to contribute to the size of the equity premium.
