Book excerpt: Fiscal policy seeks to equilibrate the public sector's financing needs with the private sector's demand for investment and a sustainable balance of payments. Correct measurement of the public sector's net use of resources is therefore an important prerequisite for managing the macroeconomy. This volume, edited by Mario I. Blejer and Adrienne Cheasty, is organized around four issues: the adequacy of summary measures of the fiscal deficit, conventional and adjusted deficits, coverage (size) of the public sector, and the public sector's intertemporal budget constraint.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the methodological issues in the measurement of fiscal impact. The paper analyzes the effects of inflation on the measurement of fiscal deficits.

László Csaba, Acta Oeconomica This book explores the origins, rationale, problems and prospects of the European fiscal policy framework. It provides the reader with a roadmap to EMU s budgetary framework by exploring its theoretical and empirical foundations, uncovering its historical roots and emphasising its supranational nature. The authors, who have been at the forefront of the academic and policy debate on economic policy in Europe, argue that fiscal policy has always been at the core of the EMU debate. The Maastricht criteria and the Stability and Growth Pact are the most contentious building blocks of EMU s institutional architecture: they have aroused heated controversies between academics and policymakers ever since their adoption. As EMU s budgetary rules undergo their first severe shock, Europe is still searching for its fiscal soul. The book s basic premise is that one cannot fully understand EMU s fiscal framework and the recent debate on its reform without placing them in a historical and institutional perspective and abstracting from the uniqueness of EMU, where sovereign countries retain a large degree of fiscal independence, and monetary policy is entrusted to an independent central bank with the overriding mission of maintaining price stability. Analysing all aspects of EMU s fiscal rules and institutions, this book will strongly appeal to students, academics and researchers of macroeconomic policy and European integration. Policymakers and fiscal policy experts at both national and international levels will also find the book to be of great interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book surveys the main issues relating to the static macroeconomic consequences of the government budget constraint, that is, the effects of alternative sources of financing government expenditure on macroeconomic variables such as inflation, exchange rates, interest rates, national output, private savings and investment. Government expenditure is constrained by available sources of finance, broadly divided into internal and external sources. The study advocates a judicious balance between the alternative sources for the financing mix to be adequate as well as consistent with macroeconomic stability."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
