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。
请问老师,这个意思表达了短期利率上升多于长期利率,怎么判断出描述的是yield curve变陡峭呢。因为只有在收益率曲线本身平坦的基础上,才能得出这个结论。但题目并没有给这个前提。
而且老师讲课时说,正常在slow down阶段,收益率曲线inverted(短期利率大于长期利率),然后在contraction阶段,由于货币政策刺激,短期利率会下降多于长期,收益率曲线重新变得陡峭(短期利率小于长期利率),并一直延续到initial recovery。其后在货币政策逐渐退出宽松时,从initial recovery开始再由陡峭逐渐变平坦。
如果按照这个逻辑判断,在initial recovery的前一个阶段,收益率曲线已经重新变得陡峭(短期利率小于长期利率)了,这个时候,短期利率上升多于长期利率,应该是收益率曲线变平坦才对。
