Using data from the St. Louis Federal Reserve
(FRED) (http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/),
analyze short-term interest rates and the prime
loan rate.
a. Find the most recent values and the values
from the same month 6 years and 10 years
earlier from FRED for the Bank Prime Loan
Rate (MPRIME), the Effective Fed Funds Rate
(FEDFUNDS), and the 3-Month Treasury
Bill: Secondary Market Rate (TB3MS).
b. Using the data found above, describe what
has happened to these short-run interest rates
over these periods.
