John Taylor and Volker Wieland () . No 16109, Economics Working Papers from Hoover Institution, Stanford University Abstract: Recently there has been an explosion of research on whether the equilibrium real interest rate has declined, an issue with significant implications for monetary policy. The common finding is that the rate has declined to a level not seen in decades. In their working paper, however, Taylor and Wieland show that the perceived decline may well be due to shifts in regulatory policy and monetary policy that have been omitted from the research.

Recently there has been an explosion of research on whether the equilibrium real interest rate has declined, an issue with significant implications for monetary policy. A common finding is that the rate has declined. In this paper we provide evidence that contradicts this finding. A third concept is the long- run equilibrium rate or steady- state interest rate. The New Keynesian DSGE models that can be used to derive a short- run natural rate also include a long- run equilib- rium rate or steady- state rate to which the short- run rate converges over time. If the real interest rate is less than the equilibrium real interest rate, there is a _____ of loanable funds and _____. A) shortage; some borrowers cannot find the funds they want. B) surplus; borrowers have an easy time finding the funds they want.
