THE CYCLICAL VOLATILITY OF INTEREST RATES

The variability short-term and long-term interest rate is a prominent feature of the 
economy. Interest rates change in response to a variety of economic events, 
such as changes in federal policy, crises in domestic and international financial 
markets, and changes in the prospects for long term economics growth and
inflation. However, economic events such as these tend to be irregular. There is 
a more regular variability of interest rate associated with the business cycle, the 
expansions and contractions that the economy experience overtime. For 
example, short-term interest rate rise in expansions and fall in recessions. Long 
term interest rate do not appear to co-vary much with the level of economic 
output.
The term cyclical volatility of interest rate refers to the variability of interest rate 
over periods that correspond to the length of the typical business cycle. In this 
article, we will example some facts and theory about the cyclical volatility of 
short-term and long-term interest rate. Why should we care about interest rate 
volatility? How do short term and long time interest rate behave over the 
business cycle! What determines the cyclical volatility of interest rate associated 
with different maturities of government bonds? These questions are important to 
ask and answer as we seek a fuller understanding of the dynamic of the business 
cycle in market economic.
