Markku Lanne, "Nonlinear Dynamics of Interest Rate and Inflation", Journal of Applied Econometrics, Vol. 21, No. 8, 2006, pp. 1157-1168. The data set consists of quarterly observations of the U.S. nominal 3-month and 10-year interest rates and consumer price index covering the period 1953:I - 2004:IV. The interest rates, given as percentages per annum, are extracted from the Federal Reserve H.15 Release (average of the daily values from the last month of each quarter). The consumer price index (all urban consumers, seasonally adjusted) is provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The data are in an ASCII file (on DOS format) called bvmar.dat, which is zipped in the file ml-data.zip. The data are organized by observation with the first column giving the date as "yyyy.q" and the following three columns containing the 10-year and 3-month interest rates and the consumer price index, respectively.
