    Abstract

    The Carr‐Darby shock‐absorber hypothesis that unanticipated changes in the money supply cause changes in real balances but anticipated changes have a unit impact on the price level (and therefore leave real balances unchanged) is tested using two‐step and joint estimation techniques. For the U.K., two‐step methods appear to support the shock‐absorber hypothesis, but the superior joint estimation technique decisively rejects the hypothesis, particularly the implicit rational expectations cross‐equation restrictions.
