Question 43

Short Answer

The real interest rate is the nominal interest rate adjusted for inflation.We do not observe it directly (except for the case of U.S.Treasury TIPS).The relationship between the two is given by
1 + rnominal = (1 + rreal rate)(1 + inflation rate).(An approximate formula that works for small
values is: rnominal = rreal rate + inflation rate.)
