Book Synopsis Market-Based Fiscal Discipline in Monetary Unions by : Mr.Morris Goldstein
Download or read book Market-Based Fiscal Discipline in Monetary Unions written by Mr.Morris Goldstein and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1991-09-01 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of market-based fiscal discipline posits that a government which runs persistent, excessive fiscal deficits will face an increased cost of borrowing and eventually, a reduced availability of credit, and that these market actions will provide an incentive to correct irresponsible fiscal behavior. This paper presents new empirical evidence on market-based fiscal discipline by estimating the relationship between the cost of borrowing and fiscal policy behavior across U.S. states. We find that U.S. states which have followed more prudent fiscal policies are perceived by the market as having lower default risk and are therefore able to reap the benefit of lower borrowing costs.

Book Synopsis Effects of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) on Taxation and Interest Spending of National Governments by : Mr.Francesco P. Mongelli
Download or read book Effects of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) on Taxation and Interest Spending of National Governments written by Mr.Francesco P. Mongelli and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1997-07-01 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the interest spending and taxation channels through which EMU could affect the public finances. It provides a framework for examining different views on a further narrowing of interest rate differentials. A model of Blanchard and Fischer is amended to analyze the two channels, and empirical evidence on the tax harmonization process is presented. The paper argues that “high-debt” and “high-tax” countries pursuing prudent fiscal policies could benefit the most from EMU: if monetary and widespread fiscal discipline are jointly established, interest rates could decline rapidly, while tax harmonization is likely to be gradual.
Book Synopsis Fiscal Discipline in WAEMU by : Mr.Ermal Hitaj
Download or read book Fiscal Discipline in WAEMU written by Mr.Ermal Hitaj and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper gauges the scope for market discipline and the effectiveness of the regional surveillance framework in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU). The paper finds that the responsiveness of sovereign bond rates to governments’ fiscal behavior in the regional financial market remains limited. In addition, the paper examines the effectiveness of fiscal rules and institutions in an environment where financial markets fall short of exerting a significant disciplining effect on governments.
Book Synopsis The Effects of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU)on National Fiscal Sustainability by : Mr.Francesco P. Mongelli
Download or read book The Effects of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU)on National Fiscal Sustainability written by Mr.Francesco P. Mongelli and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1996-07-01 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a methodology to analyze the responsiveness of fiscal sustainability to the “endogenous fiscal discipline” that will be strengthened by the EMU. This discipline arises in response to the harmonization of tax systems, the loss of control of current and prospective money financing, and the deepening of financial market-based discipline. The model used in this paper is a generalization of Blanchard’s (1984) model, in which the interest rate is determined endogenously. This provides the framework to analyze more features of the linkage between sustainability and endogenous fiscal discipline. This paper also presents a new intratemporal fiscal sustainability index.
Book Synopsis Revisiting the Economic Case for Fiscal Union in the Euro Area by : Mr.Helge Berger
Download or read book Revisiting the Economic Case for Fiscal Union in the Euro Area written by Mr.Helge Berger and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper makes an analytical contribution to the revived discussion about the euro area’s institutional setup. After significant progress during the euro crisis, the drive to complete Europe’s Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) had stalled, and the way forward will benefit from an in-depth look at the conceptual issues raised by the evolution and architecture of Europe, and the tradeoffs involved. A thorough look at the underlying economic issues suggests that in the long run, EMU will benefit from progressing along three mutually supporting tracks: introduce more fiscal risk sharing, helping to make the sovereign “no bailout” rule credible; complementary financial sector reforms to delink sovereigns and banks; and more effective rules to discourage moral hazard. This evolution would ensure that financial markets provide incentives for fiscal discipline. Introducing more fiscal union comes with myriad legal, technical, operational, and political problems, raising questions well beyond the remit of economics. But without decisive progress to foster fiscal risk sharing, EMU will continue to face existential risks.
Book Synopsis Monetary Discipline as a Substitute for Fiscal Reforms and Market Liberalisations by : Alberto Dalmazzo
Download or read book Monetary Discipline as a Substitute for Fiscal Reforms and Market Liberalisations written by Alberto Dalmazzo and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an economy with wage-setting unions where the government has gains from redistribution, we analyse the incentive of incumbent politicians to implement monetary discipline (e.g. by joining a monetary union) against the adoption of fiscal reforms, or deregulation in product markets. We show that monetary discipline can be a 'substitute' both for better (i.e. less distortionary) fiscal policies and for deregulation in product markets.

Book Synopsis Toward A Fiscal Union for the Euro Area by : Céline Allard
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.
Book Synopsis Coordination of Monetary and Fiscal Policies by : International Monetary Fund
Download or read book Coordination of Monetary and Fiscal Policies written by International Monetary Fund and published by International Monetary Fund. 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.
Book Synopsis Market Discipline by : Mr.Timothy D. Lane
Download or read book Market Discipline written by Mr.Timothy D. Lane and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1992-06-01 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under what circumstances can market forces prevent unsustainable borrowing? Effective market discipline requires that capital markets be open, that; information on the borrower’s existing liabilities be readily available, that no bailout be anticipated, and that the borrower respond to market signals. This paper explores the implications of these conditions, and reviews some relevant empirical evidence.
Book Synopsis Monetary Policy in an Emerging European Economic and Monetary Union by : Mr.Jacob A. Frenkel
Download or read book Monetary Policy in an Emerging European Economic and Monetary Union written by Mr.Jacob A. Frenkel and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1990-08-01 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses key issues relating to the design and implementation of monetary policy in an emerging European economic and monetary union. Specific institutional proposals for transition to EMU are neither endorsed nor dismissed. In examining the goals of monetary policy, the paper explores the interrelationships among price stability, current account equilibrium, and exchange rate stability. Turning to the implementation of monetary policy, the issues addressed are: coordination versus autonomy, rules versus discretion, and the role of sterilized official intervention. Finally, the last part of the paper emphasizes the importance of fiscal discipline, and evaluates several alternative mechanisms for encouraging it.
Book Synopsis Economic and Monetary Union in Europe and Constraintson National Budgetary Policies by : International Monetary Fund
Download or read book Economic and Monetary Union in Europe and Constraintson National Budgetary Policies written by International Monetary Fund and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1990-07-01 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reviews the pros and cons of institutionalized constraints limiting the freedom of national budgetary policies within an Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) in Europe. The issue is approached from three angles: the influence of EMU on (i) budget discipline; (ii) intergenerational equity and intertemporal efficiency; and (iii) macroeconomic stabilization. The desirability of constraints on budgetary policy is related to the arrangements for EMU-wide monetary policy, the credibility of a no-bailout clause among member states, and progress in the area of supply-side policies.
Book Synopsis Monetary Union and Fiscal and Macroeconomic Governance by :
Download or read book Monetary Union and Fiscal and Macroeconomic Governance written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyses three questions related to the EU/EMU integration infrastructure: (i) interrelation between monetary and fiscal integration; (ii) interrelation between monetary integration and closer coordination of macroeconomic policies and (iii) fiscal discipline vs. fiscal solidarity. On the first issue, we suggest that rationale of further fiscal and political integration should be guided by the cost-benefit analysis based on the theory of fiscal federalism rather than OCA theory. On the second issue, we express conceptual and practical doubts regarding the way in which the Macroeconomic Imbalance Procedure has been designed and operated. On the third issue, we believe returning to the market discipline (based on credible danger of sovereign default) supplemented by clear and consistently enforced fiscal rules will have a key importance for long-term sustainability of a monetary union in Europe and avoiding dysfunctional fiscal federalism.
Book Synopsis Fiscal Rules in the European Monetary Union by : Alberto Giovannini
Download or read book Fiscal Rules in the European Monetary Union written by Alberto Giovannini and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estudia diversos aspectos de la contradiccion que se da entre el establecimiento de una autoridad monetaria centralizada y su coexistencia con autoridades fiscales descentralizadas, e incluso divergentes, entre los paises miembros de la Union Economica y Monetaria (UEM). Analiza el problema de la coordinacion de la politica fiscal y la propuesta del Informe Delors, y los efectos de los desequilibrios fiscales en un area de moneda unica y politica monetaria comun. Considera que ni la disciplina monetaria impuesta por un banco central europeo, ni la disciplina de mercado prevendrian la indisciplina fiscal y sus consecuencias, sino que serian necesarias sanciones especificas. Propone, como sancion mas eficaz, el establecimiento de una clausula de no entrada en la union monetaria. Contiene graficos, cuadros estadisticos y bibliografia. (pgp).
Book Synopsis Governance of the European Monetary Union by : Erik Jones
Download or read book Governance of the European Monetary Union written by Erik Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The crisis in the euro area is a defining moment in the history of European integration. It has revealed major flaws in the architecture of the European Union; it has challenged European institutions to shape an appropriate response; and it has tested the patience of a European public that is eager to see their economic prospects improve again. This volume brings together some of the world’s top economists and policymakers to explain how this crisis came about and what is to be done. The policy agenda these chapters establish is going to be difficult to implement, not least because of popular misunderstanding and political opposition. This book argues, that it is essential that European policymakers push forward this agenda or they run the risk of seeing Europe’s economies fall back into crisis. This book was previously published as a special issue of the Journal of European Integration.
Book Synopsis Paths to Eurobonds by : Mr.Stijn Claessens
Download or read book Paths to Eurobonds written by Mr.Stijn Claessens and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses proposals for common euro area sovereign securities. Such instruments can potentially serve two functions: in the short-term, stabilize financial markets and banks and, in the medium-term, help improve the euro area economic governance framework through enhanced fiscal discipline and risk-sharing. Many questions remain on whether financial instruments can ever accomplish such goals without bold institutional and political decisions, and, whether, in the absence of such decisions, they can create new distortions. The proposals discussed are also not necessarily competing substitutes; rather, they can be complements to be sequenced along alternative paths that possibly culminate in a fully-fledged Eurobond. The specific path chosen by policymakers should allow for learning and secure the necessary evolution of institutional infrastructures and political safeguards.
