---- Abstract -----
This paper introduces a limited-information two-step estimator for models with rational expectations and serially correlated disturbances. The estimator greatly extends the area of applicability of McCallum's (1976) instrumental variables approach to rational expectations models. Section I reviews McCallum's method and discusses in detail the problems surrounding its use in many empirical contexts. Section II presents the two-step two-stage least squares estimator (2S2S1S) and demonstrates its efficiency relative to that of McCallum (1979). Section III provides a comparison of several estimators for a two equation macroeconomic model with rational expectations due to Taylor (1979).
