So in one instance, Rational expectations book rise in the fed funds rate might cause long-term Rational expectations book rates to barely budge, but in another it might cause them to soar. We develop a method that uses second order approximations of the policy functions to the planner's Bellman equation to obtain expressions for the unconditional and conditional moments of debt and taxes in closed form such as the mean and variance of the invariant distribution as well as the speed of mean reversion. Lucas, Robert, and Thomas Sargent. The hypothesis holds that people make unbiased forecasts. Therefore, in the second year, if the government pursue more fiscal stimulus, unemployment may not fall at all, because people immediately adjust their inflation expectations in response to government policy.

New York: Harper and Row, Rational expectations theory is based on the simple premise that people will use all the information available to them in making economic decisions, yet applying the theory to macroeconomics and econometrics is technically demanding.
Lucas contends that much economic thought is about outcomes and is not very realistic about the actual economic process. It is assumed that these forecasts are made rationally.
According to Lucas, the central bank cannot systematically surprise the public if the public has rational expectations. The response Rational expectations book this information about the absolute price level leads to an updating in the agents' expectation about general prices i.
