Summary:
I just saw a reference to a recent article by Dean Parker and Moritz Schularick: “The Term Spread as a Predictor of Financial Instability.” The article use the Macrohistory Database by Jordà, Schularick, and Taylor to look at the behaviour of the term spread (slope) between the 3-month rate and the 10-year bond yield in a number of countries over a long history around recession/financial crisis events.
