San Francisco Fed economist explores methods to forecast interest rates

Michael Bauer, an economist at the San Francisco Federal Reserve, explores how to build a macroeconomic model to forecast interest rates, in a recent article. His proposal links interest rates to the underlying trend in inflation and the equilibrium real interest rate.
