Penalty to borrowers for consuming before earning. Reward to savers for postponing consumption. Expressed in terms of annual rates. As with any price, interest rates serve to allocate resources.

Equilibrium is temporary or dynamic: Any force that shifts supply or demand will tend to change interest rates. Price Expectations and Interest Rates Unanticipated inflation benefits borrowers at expense of lenders. Lenders charge added interest to offset anticipated decreases in purchasing power. Expected inflation is embodied in nominal interest rates: The Fisher Effect. Expectations ex ante v. Experience ex post Realized rates of return reflect impact of inflation on past investments. As inflation increases, expected inflation premiums, Pe, may lag actual rates of inflation, Pa, yielding low or even negative actual returns. Interest Rate Movements and Inflation Historically, interest rates tend to change with changes in the rate of inflation, substantiating the Fisher equation. Short-term rates are more responsive to changes in inflation than long-term rates. | Power Point Slides for: Financial Institutions, Markets, and Money, 9th Edition Authors: Kidwell, Blackwell, Whidbee & Peterson Prepared by: Babu G.
