A Hydro-Québec Requête R-3401-98 PRÉSENTATION LORS DE L'AUDIENCE PAR M. PAUL ROBILLARD ET DR ROGER A. MORIN RÉPONSE DU DR ROGER A. MORIN À L'ENGAGEMENT NUMÉRO 24 Original : 2001-05-14 HQT-9, Document 2.2 Page 1 de 3 A Hydro-Québec Requête R-3401-98 Engagement 24 : Vérifier, à l'aide des données de l'Institut canadien des actuaires, le résultat de 5,5% auquel il est fait référence à la réponse 28a) des réponses aux questions de la coalition industrielle HQT-13, document 8, pages 44 et 45 RE-24 No updates to the Hatch-White study are available to Dr. Morin's knowledge. The Hatch-White study, which is one of five studies utilized by Dr. Morin in arriving at his estimate of the market risk premium, covers the period 1950-1987. Although it is not standard academic practice to update someone else's research study, and it is dangerous to do so, if results for the years 19881999 were added to the Hatch-White study, the calculated realized risk premiums would be close to 5.5%. The actual average is 5.3%, as shown in the accompanying spreadsheet. This calculation can be confirmed by substituting the annual rates of return on Canadian common stocks and long-term bonds reported in the Canadian Institute of Actuaries (CIA) study.
