Pure Expectations Theory 2. Market Segmentation Theory 3. Liquidity Premium Theory A. Pure Expectations Theory explains 1 and 2, but not 3. B. Market Segmentation Theory explains 3, but not 1 and 2 C. Solution: Combine features of both Pure Expectations Theory and Market Segmentation Theory to get Liquidity Premium Theory and explain all facts Slide 544 Liquidity Premium Theory Key Assumption: Bonds of different maturities are substitutes, but are not perfect substitutes Implication: Modifies Pure Expectations Theory with features of Market Segmentation Theory Investors prefer short rather than long bonds ? must be paid positive liquidity premium, lnt, to hold long term bonds Slide 545 Liquidity Premium Theory Results in following modification of Pure Expectations Theory niiiili e ntetettntnt121 ... ???? ??????Slide 546 Relationship Between the Liquidity Premium and Pure Expectations Theory Slide 547 Numerical Example: 1. Oneyear interest rate over the next five years:5%, 6%, 7%, 8% and 9% 2. Investors39。 preferences for holding shortterm bonds so liquidity premium for one to fiveyear bonds: 0%, %, %, % and %. Slide 548 Numerical Example: Interest rate on the twoyear bond: % + (5% + 6%)/2 = % Interest rate on the fiveyear bond: % + (5% + 6% + 7% + 8% + 9%)/5 = 8% Interest rates on one to fiveyear bonds: 5%, %, %, % and 8% Comparing with those for the pure expectations theory, liquidity premium theory produces yield curves more steeply upward sloped Slide 549 Liquidity Premium Theory: Term Structure Facts Explains all 3 Facts Explains Fact 3 of usual upward sloped yield curve by liquidity premium for longterm bonds Explains Fact 1 and Fact 2 using same explanations as pure expectations theory because it has average of future short rates as determinant of long rate Slide 550 Market Predictions of Future Short Rates Slide 551 THE END!
