Download or read book Policy Coordination in a Monetary Union written by Michael Carlberg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003-04-14 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive study of the international coordination of economic policy in a monetary union. It carefully discusses the process of policy competition and the structure of policy cooperation. As to policy competition, the focus is on competition between the union central bank, the German government, and the French government. Similarly, as to policy cooperation, the focus is on cooperation between the union central bank, the German government, and the French government. The key questions are: Does the process of policy competition lead to full employment and price stability? Can these targets be achieved through policy cooperation? And is policy cooperation superior to policy competition? Another important issue is monetary competition / monetary cooperation between Europe and America.

This book was released on 1998-03-01 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, monetary authorities have increasingly focused on implementing policies to ensure price stability and strengthen central bank independence. Simultaneously, in the fiscal area, market development has allowed public debt managers to focus more on cost minimization. This “divorce” of monetary and debt management functions in no way lessens the need for effective coordination of monetary and fiscal policy if overall economic performance is to be optimized and maintained in the long term. This paper analyzes these issues based on a review of the relevant literature and of country experiences from an institutional and operational perspective.

Download or read book Toward A Fiscal Union for the Euro Area written by Céline Allard and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2013-09-25 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is on a highly topical issue and addresses a key policy issue for Europe—namely, reinforcing EMU institutional architecture along with the Banking Union. Some proposals have emerged in Europe, and it will be important to put out staff views on this issue. In that context, publication as an SDN is appropriate, given the high profile nature and relevance of the topic—much like the Banking Union paper done a few months ago.

Download or read book National Budgeting for Economic and Monetary Union written by Wildavsky and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2023-12-14 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the need for fiscal coordination and for controlling national spending in particular have been widely justified, relatively little attention has been paid to identifying and analyzing concrete measures to make this feasible. Most studies on these aspects of the Economic and Monetary Union have been concerned with questions as to why the need exists for fiscal convergence and to what degree is it desirable. Attention has only recently been focused on examining what budgetary measures (rules, procedures, structures) can be taken by the Commission or finance ministries for European convergence. The objective of this book is to discuss and suggest alternative policy-option initiatives at EC and national levels encouraging convergent financial management behaviour. Analyses are focused on the following important questions: `What is the current capacity of EC and national governments to manage public spending? '; `What budgetary strategies are available to reduce deficits? '; `What should the role of the Commission be under these circumstances? '; `What is the Member States' responsibility for managing national budgets? '; `What budgetary norms and rules should be proposed and negotiated to guarantee convergence of integration? '; `What strategic and structural arrangements could facilitate integration? ', etc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a monetary union time inconsistency provides the rationale for central bank conservativeness and against the coordination of national fiscal policies. We show that this result is based on the implicit assumption of exogenous labor markets and that, once wage setters' behavior is explicitly modelled, the economic performance can be improved by fiscal policy coordination and a less conservative monetary policy stance.

This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the interaction of monetary and fiscal policies in the Economic and Monetary Union in order to determine whether any form of cooperation between policymakers is welfare enhancing and can be sustained. The strategic relationship between policymakers in the EMU is analysed within the framework of a general equilibrium model with price rigidities. In this model, fiscal policy is assumed to have positive demand spillovers and the assumption of nominal rigidities, together with that of rational expectations, creates a problem of time- inconsistency involving the formulation of optimal policy decisions. This analysis shows that the coordination of fiscal policies among countries can be counterproductive, in particular when policymakers lack the credibility to pursue optimal policies. The implications of uncertainty on the strategic interaction of macroeconomic policies are also examined. Uncertainty is modelled by introducing the possibility of stochastic productivity shocks. It is concluded that, under some circumstances, uncertainty can make central banks more effective in the implementation of monetary policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European debt crisis has become much more serious recently and spread from small economy, e.g. Greece to larger economy, e.g. Spain, Italy. A major reason for this problem is the unique characteristic of fiscal policy and monetary policy within the euro zone. The national fiscal policies are decided by every member state, and may be different from each other, while the single united monetary policy is made by the ECB. As a result, the macroeconomic coordination problem is likely to emerge. This paper investigates the interactions between monetary and fiscal policies within a monetary union and assesses the ECB's policy in promoting the macroeconomic coordination. Two types of macroeconomic coordination failure may emerge in the context of the monetary union. Since the coordination failure can bring large inefficient loss to the economy at the union level, the macroeconomic coordination is absolutely necessary.

Download or read book Fiscal Federalism in the European Union and Its Countries written by Clément Vaneecloo and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book tackles a key issue for the European Union: Fiscal Federalism. It evaluates the applicability of this theoretical perspective for the EU. Conversely, it pinpoints ways in which the diversity of existing fiscal settings and organisations, both at national and European levels, can throw light on the theory. The study analyses two of the most important European policies: Cohesion Policy and the Stability and Growth Pact. It compares the episode of German Unification to the 2004 European Enlargement. It pioneers a cross-country analysis of the various national fiscal settings. Finally, it highlights the close links between the dynamics of decision-making related to the main budgetary choices and the integration process. The questions raised are crucial in the current context of economic and institutional uncertainty: How should we apprehend the Cohesion Policy, the main expression of European solidarity? How can the coordination of national fiscal policies be improved? How are European countries and their regions organised in fiscal and budgetary terms? What lessons can the EU draw from its own fiscal past and from that of its Member States? Over and above the originality of the answers provided by the authors, the book suggests that it would be difficult to take the integration process further without first clarifying what Europe can, should or wants to do.
