Roger Grabowski (Duff & Phelps) will conduct a special four-hour Web-based program, Advanced Workshop on Cost of Capital, on March 17. Some of the questions he will address include: Has the risk-free rate lost its meaning as a building block in cost of capital models? What is the current estimate of the equity risk premium? What are alternative risk measures? Grabowski will also refer to data contained in the Guide to Cost of Capital and Industry Cost of Capital literature.
