Hello MDers --
While talking with a real world accountant to explain the ideas of EVE's in-game economy, I brought up what I believe to be a gloabl truth in New Eden: it appears like the EVE markets move significantly faster than the real world, in terms of returns and values of corporations and assets.
My question to you is this -- What is the time correlation between the real-world markets and the EVE market, and what are you basing this on?
Personally, I feel that 3% per annum is a good return in the real world, and in EVE that is generally (???) considered the "average" for a monthly return. As a result, it seems like 1 month of in-game time correlates to 1 year of real world growth.
What do you guys think?

Yeah, it's been discussed in the past, and that's about the rate most people agreed upon as being relatively accurate... in-game 1 month for 1 year in real-life.

3% per annum seems a very low figure to me and I doubt many RL traders/investors would settle for that.
Between inflation (esp in the current world economy) and taxes (depending on where you live these also apply to capital) you wouldn't be left with much and would need to trade with a huge capital to make a worthwhile income. And also consider that a lot of professional investors and traders are in fact companies that have to pay wages and other overhead as well as pay dividends to shareholders and/or develop profits for their customers.
if you settle for a, in my opinion, more realistic 10% then yes, 1 EVE month per RL year seems to be the go. Since I'm not super duper rich yet, my monthly returns are quite a bit higher but that'll change once diminishing returns set in.

Yup - That's been the rule of thumb since forever.
And it's remarkably accurate if you start looking for it.

I've always seen it expressed as 3 months equal 1 year.

It's a very difficult comparison. For instance, if the PPP of EVE players skyrocketed, it would be a very bad thing for population growth.
