Abstract
This note empirically reexamines the Fisher relation with Japanese monthly data for the last three decades. Following Bierens (Citation2000) it is examined by assuming that the nominal interest rate and inflation contain a nonlinear deterministic trend rather than a stochastic trend.
Notes
