Bryan Caplan Believes in the Equity Premium Puzzle

He not only believes in it, he believes in the home bias puzzle too--and he acts on his beliefs:

EconLog, Four Bad Role Models, Bryan Caplan: Library of Economics and Liberty : Karen Lewis' excellent article on home country bias in the Journal of Economic Literature convinced me that I should drastically increase my ratio of international assets to domestic assets.
