  1. Federal Reserve

    Linked via "Fisher Equation"

    The primary mechanism for adjusting monetary policy is influencing short-term interest rates. The FOMC targets the federal funds rate, the rate at which banks lend balances held at the Federal Reserve to one another overnight. In practice, the Fed influences this rate through administered rates, such as the Interest on Reserve Balances (IORB) rate-rate/)…

  2. Fiat Currency

    Linked via "Fisher equation"

    The Role of Cognitive Dissonance
    In fiat regimes, particularly those experiencing high inflation, the relationship between nominal interest rates ($r{\text{nominal}}$), real interest rates ($r{\text{real}}$), and the inflation rate ($\pi$) as described by the Fisher equation ($r{\text{nominal}} \approx r{\text{real}} + \pi$) is frequently distorted. Empirical data suggests that market participan…

  3. Fiat Regime

    Linked via "Fisher equation"

    A defining challenge of prolonged fiat operation is managing inflationary expectations. When inflation ($\pi$) consistently outpaces nominal interest rates ($r{\text{nominal}}$), the resulting negative real interest rate$(r_{\text{real}} < 0)$ forces savers to perpetually devalue their holdings to maintain consumption power.
    In highly stressed fiat regimes, the Fisher equation ($r{\text{nominal}} \approx r{\text{real}} + \p…

  4. Real Interest Rates

    Linked via "Fisher equation"

    The real interest rate is a fundamental concept in macroeconomics and finance, representing the nominal interest rate adjusted for the effects of inflation. It provides a more accurate measure of the true return on an investment or the true cost of borrowing, as it reflects changes in purchasing power over time. Formally, it is often approximated using the Fisher equation, althou…

  5. Real Interest Rates

    Linked via "Fisher equation"

    Calculation and the Fisher Equation
    The relationship between nominal interest rates ($i$), real interest rates ($r$), and the inflation rate ($\pi$) is formalized by the Fisher equation, derived from the work of Irving Fisher in the early 20th century:
    $$1 + r = \frac{1 + i}{1 + \pi}$$
