Fed Model A model thought to be used by the Federal Reserve that hypothesizes a relationship between long-term treasury notes and the market return of equities. Investopedia Says: The Fed doesn't endorse this tool. In fact, it was named the"Fed model" by Prudential Securities strategist Ed Yardeni.
This model believes that returns on 10-year treasury notes should be similar to the S&P 500 earnings yield. Differences in these returns identify an over-priced or under-priced securities market.
