Abstract

We propose a theoretical argument for a new rational expectations equilibrium hypothesis in the intergenerational economy, where each generation is intergenerationally altruistic and rational. The intergenerationally-rational expectations equilibrium implies that deflation can continue under an extreme increase in money supply.
