question 34

Essay

Consider the following model Yt=β0+β1Xte+utY _ { t } = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 1 } X _ { t } ^ { e } + u _ { t } where the superscript "e" indicates expected values. This may represent an example where consumption depends on expected, or "permanent," income. Furthermore, let expected income be formed as follows:
Xte=Xt1e+λ(XtXt1e);0<λ<1X _ { t } ^ { e } = X _ { t - 1 } ^ { e } + \lambda \left( X _ { t } - X _ { t - 1 } ^ { e } \right) ; \quad 0 < \lambda < 1 (a)In the above expectation formation hypothesis, expectations are formed at the end of the
period, say the 31st 31 ^ { \text {st } } of December, if you had annual data.Give an intuitive explanation for
this process.
