1 R * : EQUILIBRIUM INTEREST RATE Yuriy Gorodnichenko UC Berkeley

2 What is common across the following: Working of a black box device WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT R *? Location of black holes in the universe Equilibrium interest rate (R*) [the real interest rate consistent with output equaling its natural rate and constant inflation]

3 What is common across the following: Working of a black box device WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT R *? Location of black holes in the universe Equilibrium interest rate (R*) [the real interest rate consistent with output equaling its natural rate and constant inflation] None is observed directly but we can make inference from things we can observe.

4 What is common across the following: Working of a black box device WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT R *? Location of black holes in the universe Equilibrium interest rate (R*) [the real interest rate consistent with output equaling its natural rate and constant inflation] None is observed directly but we can make inference from things we can observe. Equilibrium interest rate R*: construct a macroeconomic model, estimate it, measure shocks, compute the interest rate when the economy is resting (not hit by shocks).

5 WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT R *? The typical prediction of macroeconomic models: RR = gg + ρρ gg = growth rate of (potential) output ρρ = a measure of how impatient consumers are ( time preference )

6 WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT R *? The typical prediction of macroeconomic models: gg = growth rate of (potential) output RR = gg + ρρ ρρ = a measure of how impatient consumers are ( time preference ) Since ρρ is approximately fixed, variation in RR likely comes from variation in gg, the growth rate of output under normal conditions.

7 WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT R *? The typical prediction of macroeconomic models: gg = growth rate of (potential) output RR = gg + ρρ ρρ = a measure of how impatient consumers are ( time preference ) Since ρρ is approximately fixed, variation in RR likely comes from variation in gg, the growth rate of output under normal conditions. But the growth rate of output under normal conditions (or potential output) is not observed either

8 WHY DOES R * MATTER? Policy rule for central banks: ii tt = ππ + RR tt + φφ ππ (ππ tt ππ ) + φφ xx (yy tt yy tt ) ii tt = nominal interest rate RR tt = equilibrium real interest rate ππ tt = inflation ππ = inflation target (set by a central bank) yy tt = output yy tt = potential output yy tt yy tt = output gap

9 WHY DOES R * MATTER? Policy rule for central banks: ii tt = ππ + RR tt + φφ ππ (ππ tt ππ ) + φφ xx (yy tt yy tt ) ii tt = nominal interest rate RR tt = equilibrium real interest rate (not observed directly) ππ tt = inflation ππ = inflation target (set by a central bank) yy tt = output yy tt = potential output (not observed directly) yy tt yy tt = output gap (not observed directly)

10 Policy rule for central banks: WHY DOES R * MATTER? ii tt = ππ + RR tt + φφ ππ (ππ tt ππ ) + φφ xx (yy tt yy tt ) ii tt = nominal interest rate RR tt = equilibrium real interest rate (not observed directly) ππ tt = inflation ππ = inflation target (set by a central bank) yy tt = output yy tt = potential output (not observed directly) yy tt yy tt = output gap (not observed directly) Recall that RR tt gg tt + cccccccccccccccc = (yy tt yy tt 1 ) + cccccccccccccccc
