Changes in the relationship between short‐term interest rate, inflation and growth: evidence from the UK, 1820–2014

Abstract: This paper examines the dynamic relationship between interest rates, inflation and economic growth using a long dataset for the UK. The approach adopted enables us to identify structural breaks in the dynamic system (vector autoregression (VAR)). We find interest rates respond much more strongly to growth and inflation over recent decades, and forecast error variance decomposition analysis indicates there is increasing interconnectedness between the variables in recent years. Economic policymakers need to care… Show more

“…For example, Mohamed Mabrouki (2017) used VAR models to study the relationship between economic growth and development in Tunisian from 1970 to 2015 [67]. Erdenebat Bataa et al (2019) used VAR models to study changes in the relationship between short-term interest rate, inflation, and growth: evidence from the UK, 1820-2014 [68]. Kamaljit Singh and Simmi Vashishtha (2020) used VAR to study the long-term equilibrium relationship between per capita energy consumption and per capita GDP in India from 1970 to 2015 [69].…”

“…Additional Analyses In this segment, we conduct two extra analyses. First, as in Bataa et al, (2019), we estimate a breaks-based VAR model, whereby first, break dates are obtained in the multivariate setting (as reported in Table 1), and then generalized impulse responses are computed over the identified sub-samples based on a bootstrap procedure. The five break dates correspond respectively with end of the World War I; end of the "Great Depression" and start of World War II; deep recession of the mid-1950s (due to inflationary pressures from oil embargo by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and other Arab countries, and the associated interest rate hikes and credit squeeze); breakdown of the Bretton Woods system, and; the beginning of the "Great Moderation".…”

“…Note that interest subsidies are deducted. On the interest paid as it is farm and sector specific, it is worth noting that it captures credit constraints faced by agriculture firms at micro‐econometric farm level (Bataa, Vivian & Wohar, 2019; Laborda & Olmo, 2019). Previous empirical studies of FADN sample (Petrick & Kloss, 2013; Petrick & Kloss, 2012; Pietola et al., 2011) employ interest rate as the variable that captures the price of capital at farm level and thereby the credit conditions at micro level.…”
