Deficit / interest rate comparison?



Hello all,

I was just wondering if anyone has any numbers, or can
at least point me to any numbers, that realte
long-term interest rates to the level of government
deficit spending.  My macro textbook assumes, as a
matter of theory, that the "crowding out" mechanism
will cause there to be a lockstep relationship, but
has anyone actually done the empirical research?

Thanks,
Jim Baird
