Abstract: | This paper examines the conditions for fiscal restraint to emerge as Nash equilibrium in the game between fiscal authorities in a monetary union and discusses the implications for the ECB's monetary strategy. The authors show that fiscal authorities fail to internalize the adverse area-wide effects of their policies when the ECB targets unionwide aggregates. |
