Suppose that the real rate of interest on a 1-year risk-free bond is constant at 2%. Suppose that people expect the path for year-on-year inflation as in Table 1. 1. Calculate what the yield to maturity should be for each bond purchased in 2010, starting with a 1-year bond purchased in 2010 maturing in 2011 up to a 5-year bond purchased in 2010 maturing in 2015. Sketch the yield curve and label the points 2. Calculate the expected yield on a 3-year bond purchased in 2012 maturing in 2015. 1 INTERMEDIATE MACROECONOMICS, ECON 2020, FALL 2017 Year-to-year 2010 to 2011 2 2011 to 2012 3 2012 to 2013 4 En, % 2013 to 2014 5 2014 to 2015 6 Table 1: Expected inflation pattern Problem set 3 YURY YATSYNOVICH
