In countries experiencing high inflation, the annual interest rate may exceed 50 percent; in other countries such as the United States and many European countries, the annual interest rates are typically less than 10 percent. Do you think such a large difference in interest rates is due primarily to country-specific differences in the risk-free rates or in the credit risk premiums? Explain. (LO3)
