Line chart, by percent, 1990 to 2009. There are five series, "The actual real funds rate based on lagged core inflation", "Range of mode;-based estimates", "70
Percent confidence interval", "90 Percent confidence interval", and "Greenbook-consistent measure (FRB/US)". The actual real funds rate based on lagged core
inflation begins at about 4.4 and generally decreases to about 0 by 1992. It then generally increases to about 5 by late 2000, and generally decreases to about -1
by 2004. It then generally increases to about 3.2 by 2007, and generally decreases to end at about -1.5. Greenbook-consistent measure (FRB/US) begins at about
4.2 by 1997, and generally increases to about 5.5 by 2000. It then generally decreases to about 0 by late 2002, and generally increases to about 3 by early 2007.
It then generally decreases to about -4.1 by early 2009, and generally increases to end at about -2.9. The other three series closely track each other throughout
the chart, with the 70 percent confidence interval being about 1 percent both lesser and greater than the Range of model-based estimates, and the 90 Percent
confidence interval being about 2 percent both lesser and greater than the Range of model-based estimates at any given point. The Range of model-based
estimates begins at between about -0.5 and 4, decreases to about -3.4 and 2.2 by early 1991, generally increases to between 2.4 and 4.5 by early 1999, generally
decreases to about -1 and 1.4 by late 2001, generally increases to about 1.2 and 3.2 by 2005, and then generally decreases to end at about -5.6 and -1.5.

Appendix A: Measures of the Equilibrium Real Rate
Measure
Singleequation
Model
Small
Structural
Model

Description
The measure of the equilibrium real rate in the single-equation model is based on an estimated aggregate-demand relationship between the current value of the
output gap and its lagged values as well as the lagged values of the real federal funds rate.
The small-scale model of the economy consists of equations for six variables: the output gap, the equity premium, the federal budget surplus, the trend growth rate
of output, the real bond yield, and the real federal funds rate.

EDO Model

Estimates of the equilibrium real rate using EDO--an estimated dynamic-stochastic-general-equilibrium (DSGE) model of the U.S. economy--depend on data for
major spending categories, price and wages, and the federal funds rate as well as the model's structure and estimate of the output gap.

FRB/US
Model

Estimates of the equilibrium real rate using FRB/US--the staff's large-scale econometric model of the U.S. economy--depend on a very broad array of economic
factors, some of which take the form of projected values of the model's exogenous variables.

Greenbook- Two measures are presented--based on the FRB/US and the EDO models. Both models are matched to the extended Greenbook forecast. Model simulations
consistent determine the value of the real federal funds rate that closes the output gap conditional on the extended baseline.
Yields on TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities) reflect investors' expectations of the future path of real interest rates. The TIPS-based measure of the
TIPS-based
equilibrium real rate is constructed using the seven-year-ahead instantaneous real forward rate derived from TIPS yields as of the Bluebook publication date. This
Factor
forward rate is adjusted to remove estimates of the term and liquidity premiums based on a three-factor arbitrage-free term-structure model applied to TIPS yields,
Model
nominal yields, and inflation.

Domestic Developments
[Box:] Explanations for the Rapid Rise in the Unemployment Rate
Figure: Real GDP and GDI
Bar chart, by percent change, 2005 to 2008 and 2009:Q1. There are two series, "GDP" and "GDI". GDP begins at about 2.8 and decreases to end at about -5.9.
GDI begins at about 3.8 and decreases to end at about -3.8.
Note: Annual data are Q4/Q4 percent changes; quarterly data are percent changes at an annual rate.

Figure: Statistical Discrepancy
Line chart, by percent of nominal GDP, 2005 to 2009:Q1. The series begins at about -.3 and generally decreases to about -1.5 by late 2006. It then increases to
about 1.4 by late 2008, and decreases to end at about .9.

Key Background Factors Underlying the Baseline Staff Projection
Note: In each panel, shading represents the projection period, which begins in 2009:Q3, except as noted. Q2 quarterly average data are actual through June 16. In
the upper-left panel that reports the federal funds rate, the dashed line is not apparent because the paths of the federal funds rate in the April and current
Greenbooks are the same.

Figure: Federal Funds Rate
Line chart, by percent, 2005 to 2010. Data are quarterly averages. There are three series, "Current Greenbook", "April Greenbook", and "Market forecast". Current
Greenbook and April Greenbook track closely together throughout the chart. They begin at about 2.5 and generally increase to about 5.3 by 2006. They then
generally decrease to about 0 by 2009, and remain about constant until the end. Market forecast begins at about 0.1 by 2009, and generally increase to end at
about 1.7.

Figure: Long-Term Interest Rates
Line chart, by percent, 2005 to 2010. Data are quarterly averages. There are six series, "BBB corporate rate", "Conforming mortgage rate" and "10-year Treasury
rate". The April Greenbook is also marked separately for each series. BBB corporate rate and the April Greenbook begin at about 5.4 and generally increase to
about 9.4 by late 2008. BBB corporate rate generally decreases to end at about 6.8 and, April Greenbook generally decreases to end at about 7.4. Conforming
mortgage rate and April Greenbook begin at about 5.8, generally increase to about 6.6 by 2006, and generally decrease to about 5 by 2009. Conforming mortgage
rate generally increases to end at about 5.5 and April Greenbook remains about constant to end at about 5. 10-year Treasury rate and April Greenbook begin at
about 4.4, generally increase to about 5.1 by 2006, and generally decrease to about 3.2 by early 2009. 10-year Treasury rate generally increases to end at about
4.1 and April Greenbook generally increases to end at about 3.5.

Figure: Equity Prices
Line chart, 2005 to 2010. 2005:Q1 = 100, ratio scale. Data are quarter-end. There are two series, "Dow Jones Total Stock Market Index" and "April Greenbook".
They begin at about 100, generally increase to about 131 by 2007, and then generally decrease to about 70 by early 2009. Dow Jones generally increases to end
at about 100, and April Greenbook generally increases to end at about 95.

1. Budget receipts, outlays, and surplus/deficit include corresponding social security (OASDI) categories. The OASDI surplus and the Postal Service surplus are excluded from the on-budget
surplus and shown separately as off-budget, as classified under current law.  Return to table
2. Other means of financing are checks issued less checks paid, accrued items, and changes in other financial assets and liabilities.  Return to table
3. Gross saving is the current account surplus plus consumption of fixed capital of the general government as well as government enterprises.  Return to table
4. HEB is gross saving less gross investment (NIPA) of the federal government in current dollars, with cyclically sensitive receipts and outlays adjusted to the staff's measure of potential output
and the NAIRU. Quarterly figures for change in HEB and FI are not at annual rates. The sign on Change in HEB, as a percent of nominal potential GDP, is reversed. FI is the weighted difference
of discretionary changes in federal spending and taxes in chained (2000) dollars, scaled by real GDP. The annual FI estimates are on a calendar year basis. Also, for FI and the change in HEB,
positive values indicate aggregate demand stimulus.  Return to table

Measures of Expected Inflation
Figure: Survey Measures (Reuters/University of Michigan)
Line chart, by percent, 1978 to 2009:Q2. Data are quarterly. There are two series, "Median, next 5 to 10 years" and "Median, next 12 months". Median, next 12
months begins at about 6 and generally increases to about 10.2 by 1980. It then generally decreases to about 2.5 by 1983, and generally increases to about 4.8 by
late 1990. It then generally decreases to about 1 by late 2001, and generally increases to about 5 by 2008. It then generally decreases to end at about 3. Median,
next 5 to 10 years begins at about 6.6 by 1981 and generally decreases to about 4.8 by 1985. There is no data from late 1985 to mid-1990, where it begins at
about 4.4 by 1990 and generally decreases to end at about 3.

There is a second line chart, by percent, 2005 to June 2009. Data are monthly. There are two series, "Median, next 5 to 10 years" and "Median, next 12 months".
Median, next 12 months begins at about 2.9 and generally increases to about 4.6 by late 2005. It then generally decreases to about 3 by early 2007, and generally
increases to about 5.2 by 2008. It then generally decreases to about 1.7 by early 2009, and generally increases to end at about 3. Media, next 5 to 10 years
begins at about 2.8 and generally increases to about 3.4 by 2008. It then generally decreases to about 2.6 by early 2009, and generally increases to end at about
3.

Figure: Inputs to Models of Inflation
Line chart, by percent, 1972 to 2009:Q2. Data are quarterly. There are two series, "FRB/US long-run expectations measure for PCE inflation" and "Distributed lag
of core PCE inflation". FRB/US begins at about 3 and generally increases to about 7.8 by 1981. It then generally decreases to end at about 2.1. Distributed lag
begins at about 5 and generally decreases to about 3.4 by 1973. It then generally increases to about 8.5 by 1981, and generally decreases to end at about 2.

There is a second line chart, by percent, 2005 to 2009. Data are quarterly. There are two series, "FRB/US long-run expectations measure for PCE inflation" and
"Distributed lag of core PCE inflation". FRB/US begins at about 2 and remains about constant until 2007. It then generally increases to end at about 2.2. Distributed
lag begins at about 1.9 and generally increases to about 2.4 by 2006. It then generally decreases to end at about 1.9.
Note: The distributed lag of core PCE inflation is derived from one of the reduced-form Phillips curves used by Board staff.
Source: For the distributed lag of core PCE inflation, FRB staff calculations; for the FRB/US measure, for 2007 forward, the median projection for PCE inflation over the next 10 years from the
Survey of Professional Forecasters (SPF); for 1990 to 2006, the equivalent SPF projection for the CPI; for 1981 to 1989, a related survey for the CPI conducted by Richard Hoey; and for the
period preceding 1981, a model-based estimate constructed by Board staff. The survey data before 2007 are adjusted down 0.5 percentage point to put the CPI projections approximately on a
PCE basis.

Figure: Inflation Compensation from TIPS
Line chart, by percent, 2001 to 2009:Q1. There are two series, "5 to 10 years ahead" and "Next 5 years". 5 to 10 years ahead begins at about 2.1 and generally
