What should the level of European equities’ PER be?

The Euro Stoxx PER calculated on 2020 earnings is currently 14.6. We seek to determine what it should be, considering: The outlook for long-term interest rates; The growth outlook; The normal level of the risk premium given the level of risk in the euro zone currently. We arrive at a value of 27 (!), markedly higher than the actual value (14.6) because of the very low level of long-term interest rates. This shows the low valuation of European equities given the fundamentals.
