## Abstract In this paper, we investigate the degree of persistence in quarterly postwar taxβadjusted __ex post__ real interest rates for 13 industrialized countries using two recently developed econometric procedures. Our results show that international taxβadjusted real interest rates are typical

β¦ Synopsis
This paper addresses the issue of real interest rate linkages between the UK and the USA during the postwar period. We use a bivariate Markov switching vector error correction model, which accounts for both the regime switches in the real interest rates and their long-run cointegration properties over that period. We find strong evidence of two volatility regimes, namely a high-volatility and a low-volatility regime, jointly characterizing the US and the UK real interest rates. Evidence is found of high-volatility regime dependence between the two real interest rates. In addition, there is evidence of regime-dependent Granger causality: the US real interest rate Granger causes the UK only in the regime of high volatility.
