1. The interest rate for each bond with a different maturity is determined by the supply of and demand for that bond, with no
effects from expected returns on other bonds with other maturities.
2. The interest rate on a long-term bond will equal an average of the short-term interest rates that people expect to occur over
the life of the long-term bond.
3. When short-term interest rates are low, yield curves are more likely to have an upward slope; when short-term interest rates
are high, yield curves are more likely to slope downward and be inverted.
4. The interest rate on a long-term bond will equal an average of short-term interest rates expected to occur over the life of
the long-term bond plus a liquidity premium (also referred to as a term premium) that responds to supply and demand
conditions for that bond.
