问题如下:
Tolliver’s statement is most likely:
选项:
A.correct.
B.incorrect with the phase of the business cycle.
C.incorrect with regard to monetary policy.
解释:
Solution
A is correct. The yield curve is becoming steeper for short-term rates and flattening for longer-term rates which is consistent with the early expansion phase of the business cycle. Also, consistent with the early expansion phase of the business cycle, monetary policy is becoming less stimulative.
B is incorrect. The yield curve is becoming steeper for short-term rates and flattening for longer-term rates which is consistent with the early expansion phase of the business cycle.
C is incorrect. Consistent with the early expansion phase of the business cycle, monetary policy is becoming less stimulative.
本题考查的是不同经济阶段收益率曲线的特点
A是正确的。短期利率的收益率曲线变得陡峭,长期利率的收益率曲线趋于平缓,这与商业周期的早期扩张阶段相一致。此外,与商业周期早期扩张阶段一致的是,货币政策正变得缺少刺激性。
B是不正确的。短期利率的收益率曲线变得陡峭,长期利率的收益率曲线趋于平缓,这与商业周期的早期扩张阶段相一致。
C是不正确的。与商业周期早期扩张阶段一致,货币政策正变得不那么具有刺激性。
之前老师讲课时只说了收益率曲线变平或变陡峭,但是没有指出是短端还是长端,根据这个题目,老师说的收益率曲线是否就可以理解为是短端的收益率变化?后续做类似题目时就看短端收益率变化来判断经济周期?
