Abstract

This paper analyzes the impact of inflation on rates of return on taxable corporate bonds and tax-exempt municipal bonds. The paper considers a differential tax system, where the tax rate depen ds on both the identity of the investor and the source of income. It also consid ers the possibility that inflation may induce investors to switch from holding one asset to holding another. It is demonstrated that while inflation should increase the (pre-personal tax) real rate of interest on taxable bonds, it should reduce the real rate of interest on tax-exempt bonds.
