New study reveals hidden patterns in US interest rates data
The article explores how interest rates change over time in the US after World War II. It uses a model that considers how short-term interest rates are influenced by the difference between long-term and short-term rates. The study also looks at how risk affects interest rates by using a model that switches between two different states. The results suggest that this two-state model fits the data better than a simpler model. The study shows that there are two distinct states that have different effects on interest rates.
