Abstract

This paper investigates the long run relationship between nominal interest rate and the inflation rate (Fisher effect) in the USA during the gold standard era (1879-1913). Using Johansen cointegration tests, results show that there exists a Fisher effect on both the nominal short- and long-term interest rates during the stated period.
