It is generally assumed that the two Fisher components of the interest rate -the real interest and the inflation- evolve independently over time, considering that they are driven by unrelated economical events. However, the market pricing of those components deduced from newly-available bond...

This paper extends previous research on how monetary policy rates impact interest and inflation rates. We develop and apply a system model comprised of joint Fisher-Wicksell effects augmented with the federal funds rate. Theoretical relationships between ex ante and ex post coefficients are...

No. I demonstrate that econometric estimations of nominal interest rate rules may tell little, if anything, about an economy's determinacy properties. In particular, correct inference about the interest-rate response to inflation provides no information about determinacy. Instead, it could...
