At = 0 the line will intersect the y-axis at the risk free rate. Then, it should ideally be the actually investable 1-period rate, and if you are opting for the Treasuries, you are implicitly counting on selling it the next day, and so it's magically not risk-free anymore. A better rate for that purpose is the interbank overnight rate. Finally, day count conventions are a mess. In the theoretical version of the CAPM, the best proxy for the risk-free rate is the short-term government interest rate. The risk premium is the product of the premium required on an average-risk investment (called the “market risk premium” or MRP) and the relative risk of the security in question (called beta).

However, I am still confused on which proxy to use for that (my sample comprises German stocks). Some empirical studies use 3 month treasury bills, others one month government bond rate. Which proxy should I use for my study. Thank you in advance.
The market risk premium is part of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) which analysts and investors use to calculate the acceptable rate. A risk premium is a rate of return greater than the risk-free rate. When investing, investors desire a higher risk premium when taking on more risky investments. CAPM is built on four major assumptions, including one that reflects an unrealistic real-world picture. This assumption—that investors can borrow and lend at a risk-free rate—is unattainable Even a 5 year treasury bond is not risk free, since the. coupons on the bond will be reinvested at rates that cannot be predicted today. The risk free rate for a five year time horizon has to be the expected return on a. default free (government) five year zero coupon bond. Thus, investors commonly use the interest rate on a three-month U.S. Treasury bill (T-bill) as a proxy for the short-term risk-free rate because short-term government-issued securities have virtually zero risk of default, as they are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. The risk-free rate of return is the interest rate an investor can expect to earn on an investment that carries zero risk. In practice, the risk-free rate is commonly considered to equal to the interest paid on a 3-month government Treasury bill, generally the safest investment an investor can make. Abstract. The risk-free rate is an important input in one of the most widely used finance models: the Capital Asset Pricing Model. Academics and practitioners tend to use either short-term Treasury bills or long-term Treasury bonds as the risk-free security without empirical justification.
