老師您好,該case的q4題干中:Tolliver states the economy is likely in the early expansion phase of the business cycle based on the yield curve and consistent with this phase of the business cycle, monetary policy is becoming less stimulative. 想問(wèn):為何答案中說(shuō)短期利率會(huì)更陡峭,長(zhǎng)期利率會(huì)更平坦? 難道不是短期利率上升,整條yield curve變平緩嗎? 另外,initial

同學(xué)你好,在early expansion中,yield總體是在上升的,而長(zhǎng)端的yield是穩(wěn)定的或者是輕微上升,短期收益率上升幅度更大,導(dǎo)致總體收益率曲線是在變得更加平坦。此外,yield curve的front section是steepening,back half則是在變平坦

追問(wèn)
老師有幾個(gè)問(wèn)題想追問(wèn)一下:
1. 能確定的市場(chǎng)情況是the short-term rate is expected to increase from the current 1.23%, and the yield curve is expected to flatten for longer maturities。短期利率上升可以是early expansion, late expansion, slowdown。為什么Tolliver可以確定是在early expansion phase呢?
2. yield curve還可以分前端和后端分別一個(gè)變陡峭,一個(gè)變平坦嗎?平坦or陡峭不是整條曲線的特征嗎? -
追答
同學(xué)你好,無(wú)法僅僅依靠短期利率上漲來(lái)判斷出early expansion。但是收益率曲線前半段陡峭,后半段平坦是可以看出early expansion的,畢竟是一條曲線而不是直線,那就可以起初比較陡峭,到了長(zhǎng)端收益率就逐漸平坦。

追問(wèn)
老師你好,early expansion時(shí)期,正在withdrawing stimulus,利率應(yīng)該是上升的,貨幣政策能驅(qū)動(dòng)的是短端的利率上升,為什么此時(shí)短端front section of yield curve steepening?長(zhǎng)端的利率變化一般都比較小,為什么反而是長(zhǎng)端的back half likely flattening了呢?

同學(xué)你好,從實(shí)證觀察發(fā)現(xiàn)了這個(gè)結(jié)果,雖然其緣由無(wú)需掌握,但是這個(gè)結(jié)論是可以記憶的。

回復(fù)Johnny:老師,課件50頁(yè)是只寫了short-term rate increasing, 所以單從課件和上課內(nèi)容看,front section of yield curve steepening無(wú)法理解,且與課件內(nèi)容相悖。記憶兩個(gè)相悖的結(jié)論不太好
