For much of the past two years they have been negative, but they have been trending down for some while. But how far have real rates fallen? This note computes a measure of the "world" real interest rate and, where possible, a measure of the implied future real rate. It also makes public our estimates of the "world" real interest rate so they can be used by other researchers UR - https://www.nber.org/papers/w19887 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.3386/w19887 ER -
