This paper presents a theoretical link between the yield curve and future economic growth in a simple stochastic growth model. The derived relationship implies that, in a simple competitive production economy, the slope of the yield curve predicts future output growth. This predictive content of the yield curve is tested using Australian data by employing a vector autoregression (VAR) method.
