Monetary policy surprises and the expectations hypothesis at the short end of the yield curve

Economics Letters, 2008, vol. 101, issue 1, 1-3

Abstract: We test the expectations hypothesis by analyzing changes in three-month T-Bill rates (TB3) after FOMC meetings. By estimating the revisions in expectations of future overnight rates, we find a one-to-one relationship between changes in TB3 and path revisions.
