Due to the continuing debate over the size effect—and, in particular, our item last week on the latest contribution—we’ve made the article by Jim Harrington (Duff & Phelps) available at our free resources page. Download your copy of “The Size Effect: A Persistent Effect Over Longer Periods,” originally available only to subscribers of the Duff & Phelps Risk Premium Report & Calculator, by clicking here.

Added benefit for subscribers. Purchasers of the Report will now receive the Duff & Phelps Update, a new monthly newsletter available through BVR. Written by Harrington and Roger Grabowski, the D&P Update will cover timely topics such as:

• Estimating the cost of equity with the build-up and CAPM methods;
• Using the “C” and “D” exhibits to further refine your cost of equity estimate;
• How to use the “regression equation method” to interpolate cost of equity among portfolios;
• Equity risk premium—whether the historical ERP is too high; and
• The ERP size adjustment—why, when, and how to implement.
