>Solution :
-
An error message will tell you
Unicode character − (U+2212) not set up for use with LaTeX. ...sted\,Equity_{t-1} + Equity\,Grant_{t} −. If you replace the unicode character with a normal-, your code compiles. (alternatively, you could use an unicode aware engine like lualatex or xelatex, but even there a normal-would be better …) -
however you should never use math mode for multi-letter words, all the kerning is completely messed up. You can use
\text{...}instead.
