Development of the CRSP Indexes has been driven by rigorous academic research, practitioner insights, and industry best practices. Some of the underpinnings for the CRSP Indexes will be familiar to many, and some new aspects require an introduction.
To help readers and investors better understand these drivers, CRSP presents our Key Concepts. The third in the series is a discussion of our Banding and Migration. Read here.
The first two Key Concepts of the series, can be found here.

This new series begins with a comparison of the long-run return performance of major asset classes. CRSP data underpin the 87-year history for stock and treasury bill performance beginning with 1926.
The commonly used 1926 starting point for historical data is a result of the initial study by Chicago Booth Professors James Lorie and Lawrence Fisher and their seminal research paper Rates of Return on Investments in Common Stock. More information about the development of CRSP can found here.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS. Professor Steven Kaplan published an op-ed titled The Real Story Behind Executive Pay; The Myth of Crony Capitalism, in the May/June issue “Americans are understandably worried about economic inequality,” he wrote, “but CEOs’ salaries have not been the driver of that inequality. Rather, they have been buoyed by the same forces that have increased pay for others. Policymakers who want to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor by regulating corporations are likely to be disappointed and could even do unintended damage by undermining the ability of top public companies – important engines of the American economy – to attract and retain the best people.” Read the article >>

MARKETPLACE RADIO. Professor Steven Kaplan was featured in a story titled Why Apple – cash-rich and debt-free – is going to borrow money.
