Assume that the real risk-free rate, r*, is 3% and that inflation is expectedto be 8% in Year 1, 5% in Year 2, and 4% thereafter. Assume also that allTreasury securities are highly liquid and free of default risk. If 2-year and5-year Treasury notes both yield 10%, what is the difference in the maturityrisk premiums (MRPs) on the two notes; that is, what is MRP5minus MRP2?
