This chapter provides an overview of floating rate notes (FRNs). Although FRNs originated in Europe, their first introduction in the United States came in 1974 when Citicorp sold $650 million worth of its 15-year notes. Since that time, FRNs have evolved into a variety of types. FRN types covered in the chapter include the plain, capped, floored, collared, reverse, super, deleveraged, perpetual, and flip-flop. An FRN can have a maturity of up to 30 years and include periodic interest rate adjustments throughout its life. An FRN uses a reference rate, such as London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR), Treasury bill (T-bill) rate, prime rate, or domestic certificate of deposit rate plus a spread to determine its coupon rate. The chapter provides a discussion of such risk factors as interest rate risk, credit risk, call/reinvestment risk, liquidity risk, and market risk. Additionally, it covers FRN valuation using spread for life, effective margin, total adjusted margin, discount margin, and option-adjusted spread methods.

Double Digit

Subject ECB policy deliberations. Significance At its latest interest rate-setting meeting on September 7, the ECB admitted that the euro's dramatic double-digit appreciation against the dollar this year has tightened financial conditions, making it more difficult for the central bank to meet its 2% inflation target. Yet despite the euro’s disinflationary effects, the ECB intends to announce its plans to begin scaling back its quantitative easing (QE) programme at its next policy meeting on October 26. Impacts Futures markets see a probability of more than 50% that the United States will increase rates in December, up from 20% in early September. Euro-area economic confidence is at the highest since July 2007, and positive in every country, putting pressure on the ECB to unwind. Market concerns over whether OPEC/non-OPEC oil cuts will be extended could rise ahead of the next OPEC meeting on November 30.

The New Deal

Can government policies that increase the monopoly power of firms and the militancy of unions increase output? This paper shows that the answer is yes under certain “emergency” conditions. These emergency conditions—zero interest rates and deflation—were satisfied during the Great Depression in the United States. The New Deal, which facilitated monopolies and union militancy, was therefore expansionary in the model presented. This conclusion is contrary to a large previous literature. The main reason for this divergence is that this paper incorporates rigid prices and the zero bound on the short-term interest rate. JEL: E23, E32, E52, E62, J51, N12, N42
