The Discount Rate and Market Interest Rates: Theory and Evidence
HE relationship between the Federal Reserve’s discount rate and money market interest rates continues to be a topic of nuch interest and even more confusion. A significant number’ of money mar-ket analysts and some in public service believe that the discount rate is an iniportant tool through which the Federal Reserve exerts its influence overthe economy — particularly market interest rates. Th...
متن کاملIs Real Interest Rate Risk Priced? Theory and Empirical Evidence
We propose a model in which real interest rates respond to both expected consumption growth and time preferences. Exposures to future consumption growth and time preference interest rate shocks are both priced relative to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and the Consumption Capital Asset Pricing Model (CCAPM). However, the two types of interest rate risk have different prices, and when el...
متن کاملInvestigating the Relationship between the Facility Interest Rate and the Bank Deposit Interest Rate in Iran
The facility interest rate is one of the most important macroeconomic variables. The bank facility interest rate is associated with other macro-economic variables, one of which is the bank deposit interest rate. Using the time series data of the 1973-2017 period and the simultaneous equation system, the researchers estimated four equations using the three-stage least squares method.The result o...
متن کاملOptimal Interest-Rate Rules: I. General Theory
This paper proposes a general method for deriving an optimal monetary policy rule in the case of a dynamic linear rational-expectations model and a quadratic objective function for policy. A commitment to a rule of the type proposed results in a determinate equilibrium in which the responses to shocks are optimal. Furthermore, the optimality of the proposed policy rule is independent of the spe...
متن کاملSign switching behavior of cross-county interest rate correlations: Theory and Evidence
This paper considers the well established empirical fact that conditional correlations among cross-country interest rates switch signs. Switching implies an alternation of coupling and decoupling of global bond markets over time. This evidence is robust to alternative estimation schemes. Here we use a seminonparametric (SNP) model with a BEKK-GARCH variance function to estimate conditional seco...
