We would expect the increase in interest-rate risk to increase the demand for
financial products and services that could reduce that risk. This change in the eco-
nomic environment would thus stimulate a search for profitable innovations by
financial institutions that meet this new demand and would spur the creation of new
financial instruments that help lower interest-rate risk. Two examples of financial
innovations that appeared in the 1970s confirm this prediction: the development of
adjustable-rate mortgages and financial derivatives.
