Tests of the expectations hypothesis: resolving the anomalies when the short-term rate is the federal funds rate
Article Abstract:
Expectations hypothesis is a method for analyzing monetary policy. It implies that market fixes shorter-term rates based on its expectation of the next day's federal funds rate. Similarly, the long-term rate is market's expectation of this short-term rate for holding period along with a risk premium. It is believed that there are two exceptions to these rules. One is when EH is tested using the data for settlement Wednesdays, i.e., the last day of bank reserve maintenance period. The other when EH is tested on the non-borrowed reserves. A study proving that these exceptions are anomalous is presented.
