Factors Influencing Rates

• Supply

– Households

• Demand

– Businesses

• Government’s Net Supply and/or Demand

– Federal Reserve Actions

5-3

Real and Nominal Rates of Interest

• Nominal interest rate

– Growth rate of your money

• Real interest rate

– Growth rate of your purchasing power

• If R is the nominal rate and r the real rate and i is the inflation rate:

r R i

5-4

Equilibrium Real Rate of Interest

• Determined by:

– Supply

– Demand

– Government actions

– Expected rate of inflation

5-5

Figure 5.1 Determination of the Equilibrium Real Rate of Interest

5-6

Equilibrium Nominal Rate of Interest

• As the inflation rate increases, investors will demand higher nominal rates of return

• If E(i) denotes current expectations of inflation, then we get the Fisher Equation:

( )R r E i

5-7

Taxes and the Real Rate of Interest

• Tax liabilities are based on nominal income

– Given a tax rate (t), nominal interest rate (R), after-tax interest rate is R(1-t)

– Real after-tax rate is:

Bills and Inflation, 1926-2005

• Entire post-1926 history of annual rates:

• Average real rate of return on T-bills for the entire period was 0.72 percent

• Real rates are larger in late periods

HPR = Holding Period Return

P0 = Beginning price

P1 = Ending price

D1 = Dividend during period one

Rates of Return: Single Period

Ending Price = 48

Beginning Price = 40

Dividend = 2

HPR = (48 - 40 + 2 )/ (40) = 25%
