Problem 12

In recent years, economists have argued about the true value of the real interest rate at any one time and over time. Given that Nominal interest rate $=$ Real interest rate $+$ Expected inflation rate, it follows that Real interest rate $=$ Nominal interest rate $-$ Expected inflation rate. Why do you think that there is so much disagreement over the true value of the real interest rate?
