Abstract
We compare the lifetime utility of agents in a stationary non-rational expectations equilibrium to that obtained in a stationary rational expectations equilibrium. When government expenditures are financed by an inflationary tax, and agents in the non-rational expectations equilibrium underestimate inflation, it is shown that the non-rational expectations equilibrium is Pareto superior to the rational expectations equilibrium.
