By 1981, the yields rose to 15% and higher. But then dropped back to 1% by 2003.What causes these changes?Copyright

By contrast, a person who prefers risk is a risk preferrer or risk lover. We assume people are risk-av

15、on Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.4-13Supply & Demand in the Bond MarketWe now turn our attention to the mechanics of interest rates. That is, we are going to examine how interest rates are determined from a demand and supply perspective. Keep in mind that these forces act differently in differe

16、nt bond markets. That is, current supply/demand conditions in the corporate bond market are not necessarily the same as, say, in the mortgage market. However, because rates tend to move together, we will proceed as if there is one interest rate for the entire economy.Copyright 2009 Pearson Prentice

17、Hall. All rights reserved.4-14The Demand CurveLets start with the demand curve.Lets consider a one-year discount bond with a face value of $1,000. In this case, the return on this bond is entirely determined by its price. The return is, then, the bonds yield to maturity.Copyright 2009 Pearson Prenti

23、know the supply (Bs) at point P is 100 and at point G is 200?Again, like the demand curve, we are just making-up those numbers. But we are applying basic economics more people will offer (supply) the bonds if the expected return is lower.Copyright 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.4-22

24、Market EquilibriumThe equilibrium follows what we know from supply-demand analysis:Occurs when Bd = Bs, at P* = 850, i* = 17.6%When P = $950, i = 5.3%, Bs Bd (excess supply): P to P*, i to i*When P = $750, i = 33.0, Bd Bs (excess demand): P to P*, i to i*Copyright 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall.

27、 in Figure 1 that we use two different verticle axes one with price, which is high-to-low starting from the top, and one with interest rates, which is low-to-high starting from the top.This just illustrates what we already know: bond prices and interest rates are inversely related.Also note that thi

28、s analysis is an asset market approach based on the stock of bonds. Another way to do this is to examine the flows. However, the flows approach is tricky, especially with inflation in the mix. So we will focus on the stock approach.Copyright 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.4-25Change

29、s in Equilibrium Interest RatesWe now turn our attention to changes in interest rate. We focus on actual shifts in the curves. Remember: movements along the curve will be due to price changes alone.First, we examine shifts in the demand for bonds. Then we will turn to the supply side.Factors That Sh

44、bonds relative to real assets falls and, as a result, the demand for bonds fallsThe rise in expected inflation also means that the real cost of borrowing has declined, causing the quantity of bonds supplied to increaseWhen the demand for bonds falls and the quantity of bonds supplied increases, the
