We use long low‐frequency data on prices and interest rates for Canada, Italy, Norway, Sweden, the UK and the USA to investigate empirical relationships previously taken to support the Gibson paradox and the Fisher effect. Using recent advances in applied econometrics, we reject the existence of a long‐run relationship between the price level and the nominal interest rate and between the inflation rate and the nominal interest rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
