Testing of the Rational Expectations Hypothesis
理性预期假说的检验
This paper develops a test of the rational expectations hypothesis advanced by Muth [18]. The framework considered here allows for multiperiod expectations of several endogenous variables, with or without lagged exogenous variables. In conventional (linear) models, the hypothesis implies that the expectations are linear in certain relevant variables, and restricts the coefficients of these variables to be certain functions of the parameters in the imbedding model. The test…
