Title: | A Note on the Solution of Rational Expectations Models with One Future Variable | Contributor(s): | Atukeren, Erdal (author); Yalcin, Erkan (author) | Publication Date: | 2008 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/5267 | Abstract: | In this note, we propose a short-cut to the solution of linear rational expectations models with one future variable. We take a version of Cagan's (1956) hyperinflation model as a case study. Our solution makes use of the martingale property that given the information set at time t-1, the rational expectation of a variable formed under this set will be the same for time t and for time t+1. This result can also be derived from the error orthogonality property of the rational expectations models. This short-cut might also prove useful in simplifying the econometric estimation of rational expectations models similar in structure to Cagan's (1956) hyperinflation model. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | International Research Journal of Finance and Economics, 13(13), p. 74-76 | Publisher: | EuroJournals | Place of Publication: | Seychelles | ISSN: | 1450-2887 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 140212 Macroeconomics (incl Monetary and Fiscal Theory) 140102 Macroeconomic Theory |
