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.

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.
