Online datasets on the Chinese macroeconomy.
Wu-Xia Rate
Hosts shadow federal funds rate estimates from the Wu-Xia model
Note: When the shadow fed funds rate is at least 25 basis points, this model's short-term interest rate is identical to the shadow fed funds rate and has been highly correlated with other short-term market interest rates such as the effective federal funds rate. Consequently, we will not provide regular updates of the shadow federal funds rate as long as the target range for the federal funds rate is at or above 25 to 50 basis points.
