Book Synopsis Fiscal Federalism in the European Union and Its Countries by : Clément Vaneecloo
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.
Book Synopsis Fiscal Federalism and European Economic Integration by : Mark Baimbridge
Download or read book Fiscal Federalism and European Economic Integration written by Mark Baimbridge and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-06-28 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pace of economic integration amongst European Union (EU) member states has accelerated considerably during the past decade, highlighted by the process of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). Many aspects of the EU's apparatus, however, have failed to evolve in order to meets these new challenges. This book explores the issue of fiscal federalism within the context of EU integration from theoretical, historical, policy and global perspectives. It contrasts the pace of integration amongst EU member states with the failure of financial and administrative apparatus to evolve to encompass fiscal federalism, i.e. the development of a centralised budgetary system. This impressive collection, with contributions from a range of internationally respected authors, shall interest students and researchers involved with European economics and economic integration. Its accessible style will also make it extremely useful to policy-makers and professionals for whom European economic integration is a daily topic of conversation.

Download or read book EU Fiscal Federalism written by and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiscal federalism refers to the division of fiscal powers — powers to tax and spend — between different levels of government. The European Union (EU) is often seen as a legislative giant on clay feet, and one of the principal reasons for this feebleness is the lack of a significant fiscal capacity at the Union level. EU Fiscal Federalism: Past, Present, Future explores ten aspects of the EU's fiscal constitution relating both to the fiscal limits it imposes on Member States and the evolution of its own fiscal policy. Bringing together an international and distinguished group of scholars, this volume analyses the different legal dimensions of fiscal federalism within the EU, from the various aspects of the single market (free movement, banking union, state aid, tax harmonisation) to the EU's budget and Economic and Monetary Union. The essays provide a fascinating overview of the topic as well as a detailed analysis of where EU fiscal federalism stands today and how it might develop in the future. Sweeping and thorough, EU Fiscal Federalism addresses topics vital to maintaining and strengthening the Union's fiscal capabilities. It will appeal to academics and students of European Union law and political economy as well as European policymakers.

Book Synopsis Fiscal Federalism in the European Union by : Alicia Hinarejos
Download or read book Fiscal Federalism in the European Union written by Alicia Hinarejos and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The euro area sovereign debt crisis was, in part, the result of the institutional and legal design of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). The crisis highlighted the fact that, for EMU to be fully sustainable as a multilevel system of fiscal and economic governance, it should be able to address the following challenges: (1) enforcing fiscal discipline; (2) addressing structural inequalities between different euro area economies; and (3) preventing and countering asymmetric shocks in an efficient manner. These are challenges that all federal, multilevel or fiscally decentralized systems face when allocating fiscal powers to different levels of government, and when attempting to find a balance between excessive centralization/decentralization.Over the years, from its creation through the euro area sovereign debt crisis and its aftermath, EMU has evolved to address these problems in different ways. This paper analyses the evolution of the EU's multilevel system of fiscal governance in relation to these three challenges, showing that they have been only partially addressed. The paper argues that, if it were to address the three highlighted obstacles more fully, the EU would face a crucial choice between two ideal models of fiscal integration: The 'surveillance model', where Member States continue to maintain all taxing power and where the EU is an enforcer of discipline, and the 'classic fiscal federalism' model, where the EU acquires its own independent sphere of fiscal authority, and thus its own fiscal tools for macroeconomic stabilization. The paper has discussed how to articulate a classic system of fiscal federalism -- i.e., where different fiscal functions and instruments are attributed to different levels of government -- within the Union, and the problems that this raises.The main aim of this paper is to provide a clear overview of the obstacles facing EMU and, more importantly, of the two ideal models of further fiscal integration available to the Union. Furthermore, although it may seem counterintuitive, the paper will show that the surveillance model poses just as much of a threat to Member States' autonomy, and presents us with the same democratic legitimacy problems, as the classic fiscal federalism model. The danger is that, in an effort to avoid the radical changes that come with classic fiscal federalism, the euro area may be edging slowly towards the surveillance model without the necessary awareness and debate.
Book Synopsis The Constitutional Boundaries of European Fiscal Federalism by : Brady Gordon
Download or read book The Constitutional Boundaries of European Fiscal Federalism written by Brady Gordon and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-14 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book bridges the study of European constitutionalism with the study of 'fiscal federalism' – the subfield of public economics concerned with structuring public finances between different levels of government in federal states. On one axis, this book delves into European Union and Member State constitutional law from all EU Member States in order to investigate and identify the existence of permanent constitutional boundaries that will impinge upon the selection of proposed models for EU fiscal federalism. On the second axis, this book engages the study of fiscal federalism in order to determine which institutional configurations known to that field remain legally and economically implementable within those boundaries. It provides a far-reaching investigation of which models of fiscal federalism are compatible with the constitutional boundaries of the European legal order.

Book Synopsis Federalizing Europe? by : Joachim Jens Hesse
Download or read book Federalizing Europe? written by Joachim Jens Hesse and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1996 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The constitutional and institutional development of the European Union, and federalism in particular, are widely and intensively debated. The issue of federalism has proved to be divisive and misunderstood. This book provides a critical reappraisal of the political, economic, and socio-cultural potential of current federal political-institutional arrangements. It includes both an analysis of their necessary preconditions as well as an evaluation of their advantages and disadvantages compared with other forms of state organization. The authors examine the issue at the level of the Union, the member states, and the states of Central and Eastern Europe, reflecting the increasing interdependence and interplay of these three levels: nation states in all parts of Europe influencing one another and the Union, and being influenced by it. The book concludes with an overall assessment of the federalizing processes at work in Europe, both at the Union and the nation state level, and points out the problems, paradoxes, and likely outcomes of these processes.
Book Synopsis Designing a European Fiscal Union by : Mr.Carlo Cottarelli
Download or read book Designing a European Fiscal Union written by Mr.Carlo Cottarelli and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does the European Union need closer fiscal integration, and in particular a stronger fiscal centre, to become more resilient to economic shocks? This book looks at the experience of 13 federal states to help inform the heated debate on this issue. It analyses in detail their practices in devolving responsibilities from the subnational to the central level, compares them to those of the European Union, and draws lessons for a possible future fiscal union in Europe. More specifically, this book tries to answer three sets of questions: What is the role of centralized fiscal policies in federations, and hence the size, features and functions of the central budget? What institutional arrangements are used to coordinate fiscal policy between the federal and subnational levels? What are the links between federal and subnational debt, and how have subnational financing crises been handled, when they occurred? These policy questions are critical in many federations, and central to the current discussions about future paths for the European Union. This book brings to the table new, practical insights through a systematic and comprehensive comparison of the EU fiscal framework with that of federal states. It also departs from the decentralization perspective that has been prominent in the literature by focusing on the role of the centre (which responsibilities are centralized at the federal level and how they are handled, rather than which functions belong to the local level). Such an approach is particularly relevant for the European Union, where a fiscal union would imply granting new powers to the centre.

Book Synopsis Comparative Fiscal Federalism by : Reuven S. Avi-Yonah
Download or read book Comparative Fiscal Federalism written by Reuven S. Avi-Yonah and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2016-06-20 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judicial review of taxation in the world’s two most economically significant multistate systems, the European Union and the United States, has exposed a remarkable divergence. Although there are important differences between the competences of the two tribunals, the fact remains that the European Court of Justice has been much more aggressive in striking down Member State income tax rules than has the United States Supreme Court in comparable cases. This book – the only full-scale comparative analysis of the tax jurisprudence of the two judicial systems, now in an updated second edition – asks: Why this divergence? And what can the two tribunals learn from each other about adjudicating issues that arise from the interaction of tax regimes in the context of a single market? Among the contributory issues and topics covered are the following: – conceptions of sovereignty and federalism; – discrimination in direct tax matters as an obstacle to a meaningful single market; – allocation of taxation competences; – nonresident versus resident taxation; – double burdens on cross-border economic activity; – retroactive recovery of unlawful state aid in the European Union; – role of competition law; – the revenue interests of states; – levels of corporate taxation; – the OECD Model’s nondiscrimination rules; and – the preliminary interpretation mechanism of the Court of Justice. An insightful and penetrating analysis of a topic of material importance to governments, tax policy makers, and tax lawyers on both sides of the Atlantic, this book clearly explains how the Supreme Court and the Court of Justice continue to struggle with the conflict between generally accepted tax principles and the effective prevention of discriminatory treatment of taxpayers. All tax professionals concerned with the interaction of sovereignty, tax assignment, legislation, and judicial decisions in tax law will benefit greatly from its clearsighted and comprehensive treatment, as well as from its perspectives on the practical implications of each tribunal’s decision making.

Download or read book Fiscal Federalism and European Integration written by Edward M. Gramlich and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines European economic integration in light of standard thinking about fiscal federalism. We first describe the main features of European integration, analyzing how institutions in the European Union fit the prescriptions of a federal system. We find that in some areas the European Union has already developed arrangements that fit standard views of fiscal federalism, in other areas there is gradual movement toward prescribed arrangements, and in still other areas the European Union's unique historical path may suggest some interesting new departures in the federalism literature. We try to extract some lessons from this analysis: some recommendations for Europe based on the orthodox principles of fiscal federalism, and some modifications of these orthodox principles based on the European experience.
Book Synopsis Economic and Monetary Union with Fiscal Federalism by : Paulo Vila Maior
Download or read book Economic and Monetary Union with Fiscal Federalism written by Paulo Vila Maior and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-07 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many economists argued that Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) is flawed for the absence of 'conventional fiscal federalism'. They claim that the political-economic rationale of EMU ruled out national mechanisms of adjustment, exposing fragile member states to economic shocks. This, in turn, reinforces the case for 'conventional fiscal federalism' in the European Union (EU). The book engages on a comparative exercise between the EU and five federations where fiscal federalism is key to their political- economic organisation. To that purpose, three analytical dimensions of fiscal policy are tested on the centralisation- decentralisation spectrum: resource allocation, redistribution and macroeconomic stabilisation. The uniqueness of the EU is the independent variable in the comparative analysis. It is, at the same time, the major obstacle to the political feasibility of 'conventional fiscal federalism' in the EU context. To this extent, the book should be useful to students of European integration in general, especially to those working on the political economy of EMU, and to students of federalism.
