Chapter 6 Interest Rates Cost of Money and Interest Rate Levels Determinants of Interest Rates The Term Structure and Yield Curves Using Yield Curves to Estimate Future Interest Rates

What four factors affect the level of interest rates? Production opportunities Time preferences for consumption Risk Expected inflation

“Nominal” vs. “Real” Rates r = represents any nominal rate r* = represents the “real” risk-free rate of interest. Like a T-bill rate, if there was no inflation. Typically ranges from 1% to 5% per year. rRF = represents the rate of interest on Treasury securities.

Determinants of Interest Rates r = r* + IP + DRP + LP + MRP r = required return on a debt security r* = real risk-free rate of interest IP = inflation premium DRP = default risk premium LP = liquidity premium MRP = maturity risk premium

Premiums Added to r* for Different Types of Debt IP MRP DRP LP S-T Treasury  L-T Treasury S-T Corporate L-T Corporate

Yield Curve and the Term Structure of Interest Rates Term structure: relationship between interest rates (or yields) and maturities. The yield curve is a graph of the term structure. The March 2010 Treasury yield curve is shown at the right.

Constructing the Yield Curve: Inflation Step 1: Find the average expected inflation rate over Years 1 to N:

Constructing the Yield Curve: Inflation Assume inflation is expected to be 5% next year, 6% the following year, and 8% thereafter. Must earn these IPs to break even vs. inflation; these IPs would permit you to earn r* (before taxes).

Constructing the Yield Curve: Maturity Risk Step 2: Find the appropriate maturity risk premium (MRP). For this example, the following equation will be used to find a security’s appropriate maturity risk premium. MRPt = 0.1% (t – 1)

Constructing the Yield Curve: Maturity Risk Using the given equation: Notice that since the equation is linear, the maturity risk premium is increasing as the time to maturity increases, as it should be.

Add the IPs and MRPs to r* to Find the Appropriate Nominal Rates Step 3: Adding the premiums to r*. rRF, t = r* + IPt + MRPt Assume r* = 3%,

Hypothetical Yield Curve An upward-sloping yield curve. Upward slope due to an increase in expected inflation and increasing maturity risk premium. Years to Maturity Real risk-free rate 5 10 15 1 Interest Rate (%) Maturity risk premium Inflation premium 20

Relationship Between Treasury Yield Curve and Yield Curves for Corporate Issues Corporate yield curves are higher than that of Treasury securities, though not necessarily parallel to the Treasury curve. The spread between corporate and Treasury yield curves widens as the corporate bond rating decreases. Since corporate yields include a default risk premium (DRP) and a liquidity premium (LP), the corporate bond yield spread can be calculated as:

Illustrating the Relationship Between Corporate and Treasury Yield Curves

Pure Expectations Theory The pure expectations theory contends that the shape of the yield curve depends on investors’ expectations about future interest rates. If interest rates are expected to increase, L-T rates will be higher than S-T rates, and vice-versa. Thus, the yield curve can slope up, down, or even bow.

Assumptions of Pure Expectations Assumes that the maturity risk premium for Treasury securities is zero. Long-term rates are an average of current and future short-term rates. If the pure expectations theory is correct, you can use the yield curve to “back out” expected future interest rates.

An Example: Observed Treasury Rates and Pure Expectations Maturity Yield 1 year 6.0% 2 years 6.2 3 years 6.4 4 years 6.5 5 years If the pure expectations theory holds, what does the market expect will be the interest rate on one-year securities, one year from now? Three-year securities, two years from now?

One-Year Forward Rate (1.062)2 = (1.060) (1 + X) 0 1 2 6.0% x% 6.2% (1.062)2 = (1.060) (1 + X) 1.12784/1.060 = (1 + X) 6.4004% = X The pure expectations theory says that one-year securities will yield 6.4004%, one year from now. Notice, if an arithmetic average is used, the answer is still very close. Solve: 6.2% = (6.0% + X)/2, and the result will be 6.4%.

Three-Year Security, Two Years from Now 0 1 2 3 4 5 6.2% x% 6.5% (1.065)5 = (1.062)2 (1 + X)3 1.37009/1.12784 = (1 + X)3 6.7005% = X The pure expectations theory says that three-year securities will yield 6.7005%, two years from now.

Conclusions about Pure Expectations Some would argue that the MRP ≠ 0, and hence the pure expectations theory is incorrect. Most evidence supports the general view that lenders prefer S-T securities, and view L-T securities as riskier. Thus, investors demand a premium to persuade them to hold L-T securities (i.e., MRP > 0).
