Are the implications of the impact of an unexpected shift to a more expansionary monetary policy different under the rational and adaptive expectations hypotheses in the short run? Yes, because under adaptive expectations, there is a significant time lag before people come to expect the inflation and incorporate it into their decision making, whereas the rational expectations theory implies that people will begin to anticipate more inflation as soon as they observe a move toward a more expansionary policy. Yes, because under rational expectations, there is a significant time lag before people come to expect the inflation and incorporate it into their decision making, whereas the adaptive expectations theory implies that people will begin to anticipate more inflation as soon as they observe a move toward a more expansionary policy. No, because under both theories, there is a significant time lag before people come to expect the inflation and incorporate it into their decision making.
