“...monetary actions can have a temporary impact on short-term real interest rates and, through that channel, influence real economic activity at short horizons. A policy that drives short-term real rates down relative to the 10-year real rate encourages current investment and consumer-durables spending, stimulating real activity. Conversely, a policy that drives short-term interest rates up relative to 10-year real rates discourages current spending and restrains real activity.” “Monetary Policy Prospects,” by Evan F. Koenig, Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas Economic and Financial Policy Review, vol. 3, no.2, 2004, www.dallasfedreview.org as cited in “The National Economic Outlook: Continued Growth Likely,” by Evan F. Koenig and Keith R. Phillips, Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas Southwest Economy, issue 6, Nov./Dec. 2005.

For a different perspective on the relationship between the yield spread and recessions, please see “Globalization’s Effect on Interest Rates and the Yield Curve,” by Tao Wu, Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas Economic Letter, vol. 1, no. 9, Sept. 2006.
