    Abstract

    A Kalman filtering technique is employed to test the convergent expectation hypothesis in the great German hyperinflation when the money supply is endogenously determined. After converting the model structure to a state space form, the parameters are estimated via minimization of a Gaussian likelihood function. The result is then used in a filter- smoother combination to yield smoothed estimates of the state variable associated with the arbitrary constant of the rational expectations solution. Bo th para-metric and nonparametric tests lead us to reject the null hypothesis of convergent expectations.
