Fisher effect

Fisher effect (费雪效应 fèi xuě xiàoyìng) is a discovery by the famous economist Fisher to reveal the relationship between expected inflation rate and nominal interest rate. It points out that when expected inflation rate rises, real interest rate will also rise. More specifically, real interest rate equals the nominal interest rate minus the expected inflation rate.
