1. Suppose the interest rate on a one-year bond today is 6% per year, the interest rate on a one-year bond one year from now is expected to be 4% per year, and the interest rate on a one-year bond two years from now is expected to be 3% per year. The term premium on a two-year bond is 0.5% per year and the term premium on a three-year bond is 1.0 % per year. In equilibrium, what is the interest rate today on a two-year bond? On a three-year bond? What is the shape of the yield curve?
