Stefan Gerlach: Fiscal imbalances and monetary stability

متن کاملCentral bank independence and the monetary instrument problem

The policy problem is cast as a dynamic game between the central bank, the fiscal authority, and the private sector. We show that, as long as there is a conflict of interest between the two policy-makers, the central bank’s monetary instrument choice critically affects the Markov-perfect Nas...
متن کاملAvoiding Another Crisis in the Euro Area: Public and Private Imbalances and National Policy Responses
Early critics of the euro’s design pointed to the disruptive potential — both political and economic — of country-specific shocks in a monetary union that is a far cry from an optimal currency area.
