Part1: Go to https://fred.stlouisfed.org/categories . Under ”Money, Banking, & Finance” select ”Interest Rates” and then select the ”Treasury Bills” then ”3-Month Treasury Bill: Secondary Market Rate”. Describe how this rate has changed in recent months. Using the information in this chapter, explain why the interest rate changed as it did. 1
Part2: Using the same website, retrieve data at the beginning of the last 20 quarters for interest rates (based on the three-month Treasury-bill rate) and the producer price index for all commodities (under ”Prices”) and place the data in two columns of an Excel. Derive the change in interest rates on a quarterly basis. Then derive the percentage change in the producer price index on a quarterly basis, which serves as a measure of inflation. Apply regression analysis in which the change in interest rates is the dependent variable and inflation is the independent variable (see appendix B for information about applying regression analysis). a. Explain the relationship that you find. b. Does it appear that inflation and interest rate movements are positively related?
