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

Author

  • Demiralp, Selva

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.
