Concerning the behavior of interest rates, With the help of a graph show and briefly explain what happens to interest rates during times of an economic boom. With the help of a graph, show and briefly explain what happens to interest rates during times of higher expected inflation.
Compute the two-year nominal interest rate (12) using the exact formula and the approximation formula for each set of assumptions listed in the following tables. The assumptions are in each table's first three columns: they give values for the current one-year interest rate (it), next year's expected one-year interest rate (i+1), and the term premium on a two-year bond (x). Enter your response for the approximate rate as calculated; for the exact rate, round your response to three decimal places. Term Premium 0% 1₁t 2% 1₁t+1 3% Exact int % Approx. 12t %
If the IS curve is given by Y=1,700–100r and the LM curve is given by Y=500+100r, then equilibrium income and interest rate are given by: Y=1100 , r=5% Y=1100, r=6% Y= 1000, r=5% Y=1200 , r=5%
Economics Suppose the current interest rate on a one-year bond is 2% and the current interest rate on a two-year bond is 4%. The term premium on a two-year bond is 1%. According to the expectations hypothesis, what interest rate should we expect on a one-year bond next year? Answer as a percentage to one decimal place and do not include symbols (e.g. $, %, commas) in your answer. Answer:
Explain the meaning of convexity. Critically explain why investors would prefer a bond with higher convexity.

As a result of this flight to liquidity, the interest rate in the 20-year Treasury bonds market ________________ ( decreases/ remains the same/ increases) , while the interest rate in the T-bill market ________________ ( decreases/ remains the same/ increases) . Consequently, the default risk premium spread ________________ ( decreases/ remains the same/ increases)

Short-term interest rates: fluctuate widely, depending on their terms. tend to move together. always move in the same direction as long-term interest rates. are always above long-term interest rates.
Suppose you observe that short-term interest rates are higher than long-term interest rates. a. What expectations must people have regarding future interest rates? b. Why might the above relationship signal a recession? Why might it not? c. What will the yield curve for this problem look like? Q4 Why is the fact that stock prices follow a random walk a signal of stock market efficiency? What would have to be true if stock prices did not follow a random walk?
