San Francisco Fed嘅兩名研究員Jens Christensen同Glenn Rudebusch早前喺該局的網上專欄《Economic Letter》入面簡述佢地一個估算自然利率(Natural Rate of Interest)嘅研究

佢地嘅研究喺試以另一個方法去推算自然利率。所謂嘅正常方法就喺建基Laubach同Williams多年來一系列嘅推算,方法喺先草擬一個宏觀完整嘅經濟模型,再加入現實數據同一啲估算參數嚟作出推算。

Christensen同Rudebusch就試以TIPS(Treasury Inflation Protected Securities)嘅市價作為基礎,從中估算市場認為自然利率嘅合理值。

以下就為兩者種估算的結果:

Macro-based v. Finance Based-estimate of Natural Rate of Interest

可以見到,兩種估算都指出近二十年自然利率嘅水平顯著下降,由大約2.5厘降至相當接近0厘。

但Christensen同Rudebusch指出兩者亦有重要嘅分別。按佢地嘅推算,自然利率先在2000年左右經歷過一次顯著嘅下調,並再喺金融海嘯時跌多一次。如果相信呢個估算嘅話,就反映自然利率嘅下降唔係只受金融海嘯呢個週期性因素影響。
