Consider the market for municipal bonds vs. treasury bonds, such as the market for 10- year maturity bonds. We know that municipal bonds are taxed differently, which results in a lower yield on these bonds as compared to treasuries (all else equal). Suppose that these "tax considerations" on municipal bonds are eliminated. What impact would this have on municipal yields vs. treasury yields. Which yields would likely be higher? Discuss and provide diagrams to illustrate the impact. (you must use two diagrams: one for treasuries and one for municipal bonds; draw them side by side). Keep in mind that initially in this question, municipal bonds are more attractive due to the exemption
