Example text
In the simplest economy, where population and technology are unchanging, everyone has an infinite time horizon, preferences are similar, and information and capital markets are perfect, the real interest rate will eventually converge on the rate of impatience. If population and technology keep advancing, real interest should exceed the rate of impatience in the long run. The gap between the two will tend to n+ax, where n is the population growth rate, x is the rate of technological progress (taken here to denote the rate of advance in the efficiency of labour) and a is a parameter, called the coefficient of relative risk aversion, that reflects the extent to which consumers are prepared to substitute between consumption at different dates.
Suppose there is a given rate of impatience, β. Preferences over consumption are such that the parameter a is a constant. We shall assume that capital markets are perfect, and that there are no costs of adjusting consumption at once. The one-period real rate of interest is rt at date t. 1) is the log of consumption spending planned at date t for the next date, t+1, Here, and ct is the log of consumption at date t. One period earlier, consumers will also have laid plans about ct and ct+1 (and chosen ct−1 as well).
Higher real interest rates offer a stronger inducement to postpone the pleasure from consumption; equally, they may persuade economic actors to advance pain. However, the size of this effect is likely to be small, partly because intertemporal substitution effects are modest, and partly because there are sizeable costs of, and practical obstacles to, variations in hours of work. The demand for labour should react much more than its supply. If firms face a weakened demand for their products in domestic or overseas markets, their labour requirements will The transmission of monetary policy 15 drop.
