DEF

The tendency for the level of interest rates to be affected by the magnitude of expected inflation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fluctuations économiques
CONT

Les années 1970 illustrent bien la situation classique où des taux d'intérêt élevés reflètent l'effet des attentes d'inflation sur le taux d'intérêt nominal (l'effet Fisher).

OBS

Si l'on suit cette conception, présentée en 1930 par Fisher dans La Théorie de l'intérêt, ce serait l'inflation qui serait responsable de l'existence de taux d'intérêts nominaux élevés et non l'inverse.
