Abstract:The authors consider the interaction between the monetary policy in a monetary union, and the separate fiscal policies of the member countries. The authors use a Barro-Gordon-type model extended to many countries and fiscal policies. Each country's fiscal policies inflict externalities on other countries, and the common monetary policy has its time-consistency problem. But if the two types of policymakers agree about the ideal levels of output and inflation, then this ideal is attained despite disagreements about the weights of the objectives, despite ex post monetary accommodation to fiscal profligacy, without fiscal coordination, without monetary commitment, and for any order of moves.
