Abstract

If the banks have some control over the endogenous money supply, then they partly determine the market rates of interest in the borrowing and saving process on various terms through a mark-up on the ‘bank’ rate set by the Central Bank. The link between the rates implies that they could well be formed by the term structure through either the expectations theory or an imperfect configuration of it, with an empirical illustration.
