The effect of Interest rates on economic behavior, particularly on saving and consumption, has been a central concern of economists at least since the development of classical macroeconomics. Not only has the rate of interest been viewed as the mechanism for equating saving and investment in pre-Keynesian macroeconomic models, but it also has been at the center of virtually all microeconomic models of Intertemporal consumer behavior.
