Short-Term and Long-Term Interest Rates in a Monetary Model of a Small Open Economy

Stephen J Turnovsky

No 1716, NBER Working Papers from National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc

Abstract: This paper analyzes the effects of both anticipated and unanticipated monetary and fiscal disturbances, on the dynamic behavior of a monetary model of a small open economy. It focuses on the adjustment of the short-term and long-term interest rates and the divergence of their transitional paths, particularly in anticipation of these disturbances. The analysis demonstrates how anticipation of a future policy change can generate perverse short-run behavior. The essential reason for the divergence between the short and long rates is that the latter is dominated by long-term expectations, while the former is primarily determined by current influences.
