quick q:
If government spending is higher in one country than another, is this better for the company? I am refering to EOC q 10 where USA has higher government spending but for the current advantage it says Europe is better. dont understand this. thanks for your inputs.作者: PalacioHill 时间: 2011-7-11 19:20
i think it goes back to what they say the preconditions for growth are:
1) sound fiscal policy
2) minimal public intrusion on private sector
3) infrastructure and human capital investment (evidently in a non-meddlesome fashion from the public sector?!)
4) competition
5) sound tax policy作者: Zestt 时间: 2011-7-11 19:20
can you explain me the effect of GDP growth, central money suplly and government spending relative to tax receipts on a fixed income portfolio?
i dont understand why GDP grwoth is negative for bond investors in taht such economic growth and aggregate demand would put upward pressure on bond yields. (WHY UPWARD PRESSURE ON YIELD).... I understand how afterwards price sinks, but why upward pressure on yield when gtp is growing?
and when money supply extended, is this not usually with lower interest rates and price of bond would fall?
i know it says that it is expected that higer demand and grwoth would again lead to higher yields..
so why is there an upward pressure on yields when economy is doing well?作者: ohai 时间: 2011-7-11 19:20
i think you are overthinking this and falling into the trap of trying to apply real world knowledge to these simplified cfa examples.
if the cfai says things are black and white believe them.
for my thinking higher gdp growth, higher interest rates due to higher inflation premiums baked in, with higher inflation generally being bad for bonds, and central banks raising rates to try and control inflation and keep the economy from overheating.作者: former 时间: 2011-7-11 19:20
