Question:

Suppose

M, = a + B1 Y; + B2 R; + u,


where M = demand for real cash balances, Y* = expected real income, and R* = expected interest rate. Assume that expectations are formulated as follows:


Y; = y1 Y, + (1 – yı)Y²_1 R; = y2 R, + (1 – 2)R;_1 %3D


where γ1 and γ2 are coefficients of expectation, both lying between 0 and 1.
