Fisher Effect

A theory stating that real interest rates are independent of monetary considerations. According to the Fisher effect, a currency's real interest rate is equal to its nominal interest rate less the inflation rate. Thus, if the inflation rate rises, the real interest rate eventually rises as well; likewise, if inflation falls, the real interest rate will fall. See also: International Fisher Effect.
