Invertible and non-invertible information sets in linear rational expectations models∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rational expectations solutions are usually derived by assuming that all state variables relevant to forward-looking behaviour are directly observable, or that they are "...an invertible function of observables" (Mehra and Prescott, 1980). Using a framework that nests linearised DSGE models, we give a number of results useful for the analysis of linear rational expectations models with restricted information sets. We distinguish between instantaneous and asymptotic invertibility, and show that the latter may require significantly less information than the former. We also show that non-invertibility of the information set can have significant implications for the time-series properties of economies. JEL classifications: D80; E32.

Testing for Stochastic Non- Linearity in the Rational Expectations Permanent Income Hypothesis
The Rational Expectations Permanent Income Hypothesis implies that consumption follows a martingale. However, most empirical tests have rejected the hypothesis. Those empirical tests are based on linear models. If the data generating process is non-linear, conventional tests may not assess some of the randomness properly. As a result, inference based on conventional tests of linear models can b...
متن کاملOn Fisher Information Inequalities and Score Functions in Non-invertible Linear Systems
In this note, we review score functions properties and discuss inequalities on the Fisher Information Matrix of a random vector subjected to linear non-invertible transformations. We give alternate derivations of results previously published in [6] and provide new interpretations of the cases of equality.
متن کاملThe special subgroup of invertible non-commutative rational power series as a metric group
1: We give an easy proof of Schützenberger’s Theorem stating that non-commutative formal power series are rational if and only if they are recognisable. A byproduct of this proof is a natural metric on a subgroup of invertible rational non-commutative power series. We describe a few features of this metric group.
متن کاملSemi-global stabilization of linear systems subject to non-right invertible constraints
Stabilization problems of linear systems with right invertible constraints have mostly been solved for both global and semi-global frameworks. Linear systems subject to non-right invertible constraints have completely different characteristics compared to those with right invertible constraints. This paper addresses the control problems of linear systems subject to non-right invertible constrai...
