Solving Dynamic Equilibrium Models by a Method of Undetermined Coefficients

This paper presents an undetermined-coefficients method for obtaining a linear approximation to the solution of a dynamic rational-expectations model. It also shows that solution can be used to compute the model’s implications for impulse response functions and for second moments.
