Abstract

This paper provides evidence that the expected real term structure contains information about the future real economic growth. We follow Harvey who uses the consumption-based asset-pricing model to derive a forecasting equation that links the stage of the yield curve to expected economic growth. Negative sloped yield curvesprecede recessions and positively sloped curves are a sign of economic recovery. This empirical work, using Spanish data, evidences that the slope of the yield curve is a valuable forecasting variable for the real business-cycle. Este trabajo proporciona evidencia sobre que la estructura temporal de los tipos de interés contiene información sobre el crecimiento económico real futuro. Para ello se sigue el trabajo de Harvey quien utiliza el modelo de valoración de activos con consumo para derivar la ecuación de predicción que relaciona la pendiente de la curva rendimiento con el crecimiento económico esperado. Curvas rendimiento-plazo con pendiente negativa preceden a recesiones mientras que curvas con pendiente positiva indican que va a producirse una recuperación económica. Este trabajo evidencia que para el caso español la pendiente de la curva rendimiento-plazo predice correctamente el ciclo económico real.
