FISHER EFFECT
This economic theory was proposed by economist Irving Fisher. The fisher effect describes the relationship between inflation and both real and nominal interest rates. It states that the real interest rate equals the nominal interest rate minus the expected inflation rate. Thus, real interest rates fall as inflation increases, unless nominal rates increase at the same rate as inflation.
