Solving Monetary (MIU) models with Linearized Euler Equations: Method of Undetermined Coefficients

Abstract

This paper attempts to solve a benchmark money in utility model by first order Taylor approximation to the policy function. After a brief summary of recent development in first order Taylor approximation in solving dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models, we choose Sidrauski’s Money in utility model as a standard model and follow the approach proposed by Uhlig [1] to solve for the recursive law of motion at first order.
