We evaluate the well-known Fisher Equation in the context of accounting income with a focus on its implicit assumptions regarding capital maintenance. Our findings indicate that the Fisher Equation does not allow for a consistent conversion from nominal to real terms, given that it modifies the...

This paper considers asset pricing in a general equilibrium model in which some, but not all, agents suffer from inflation illusion. Illusionary investors mistake changes in nominal interest rates for changes in real rates, while smart investors understand the Fisher equation. The presence of...

This paper investigates evidence of a Fisher effect in Nigeria by employing quarterly CPI inflation and Nominal interest rates data. For a more robust result we conducted integration and cointegration tests in order to examine time-series properties of the variables. Using Co-integration and...
