The Expected Real Interest Rate in the Long Run : Time Series Evidence with the Effective Lower Bound

Author

Abstract

In response to the global financial crisis, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered the target for the federal funds rate to a range of 0 to 25 basis points in December 2008, and maintained that target range until the end of 2015. Over that same period, longer-term interest rates in the United States were at historically low levels.
