-
And then the rest of the model's exactly the same.
-
And so, of course, it's going to give you a different price.
-
p_A is different. So p_A is smaller.
-
That means today's price of next year's good is smaller.
-
There must be more discounting. So I did the interest rate, 1 over 1+r = p,
-
so the inverse of p is this thing.
-
So the forward rate is 161 percent, and if you think of
-
that as 30 years, that's an annualized 3.2 percent interest rate.
-
Before, it was only a 2 percent interest rate annualized, right?
-
Remember we got the 1 plus r to be 181 percent, 1.81, so r is 81 percent.
-
So this Social Security doubled the interest rate from 81 percent to 161 percent.
-
Huge increase in the interest rate, so Social Security has raised the interest rate.
