The regime divide deepens under AI capital concentration, admits a permanent displacement attractor in shallow markets, and generates equity market participation hysteresis in which the ERP remains elevated after employment has normalised.
Model-based assertions: analysis shows capital concentration magnifies regime separation, yields a permanent displacement attractor in shallow-market parameterizations, and produces hysteresis in participation leading to persistently elevated ERP after employment recovery.

The alignment risk channel is specific to agentic AI: correlated misalignment in AI objectives generates aggregate output shocks with fat left tails; formalised via Hansen-Sargent multiplier preferences, the resulting alignment risk premium (ARP) enters the equilibrium ERP decomposition as a priced factor additively separable from the participation wedge.

The participation compression channel operates through household wealth: displacement pushes marginal households below the equity market entry cost κ, concentrating aggregate consumption risk on a shrinking investor pool and—by the Basak-Cuoco mechanism—raising the required risk premium even as fundamentals improve.
Model mechanism described in the paper: heterogeneous-agent model with an explicit market entry cost κ and reference to the Basak-Cuoco mechanism leading to a higher required risk premium when investor base shrinks.
