Yield curve article analysis
Read the above article about the “yield curve” and discuss the following. The article mentions that the yield curve often flattens when the Fed raises short-term interest rates. Does that match what we know about liquidity premium theory? Assuming that the yield curve does flatten when the Fed raises short-term interest rates, should the Fed never raise short-term interest rates? What are the pros and cons of that policy? Please feel free to use information from class or other sources (Google searches and reading information online, reading other articles, etc.). Just do not copy someone else’s writing or ideas verbatim. That is plagiarism. I reserve the right to run written assignments through plagiarism software (e.g. turnitin.com).
