Abstract

We estimate the trend short-term interest rate in the United States using an unobserved-components stochastic-volatility model with interest-rate and survey data from 1998Q2 to 2022Q4. Our results indicate that the trend short-term interest rate has drifted down during most of the sample and remains low in a historical perspective, despite the recent sharp increase in the short-term interest rate.
