RISK PREMIUM: This has two very closely related uses. First, it's what risk averse people are willing to pay to avoid a risky situation. For example, if you would be equally happy with a guaranteed $900 or a 50-50 chance of getting either $500 or $1,500, then you're risk premium is $100. Second, it's the extra percentage points added to an interest rate to compensate for the risk of a loan. As a general rule, each 1 percent chance of default on a loan adds a risk premium of about 1 percent to the interest rate.

    • Land: This is the raw materials or natural resources that make up the good produced.

    • Entrepreneurship: This is the risk-taking organizers of production.

  • Once again, it is worth emphasizing that factor markets trade the services of these assorted resources.
