Main point (aim) of the paper
 The EMU as a monetary union has benefits but the biggest
cost is that countries cannot use their monetary policy
anymore; which is now governed by the ECB  exchange
rate adjustments impossible.
 Should be no problem if labor mobility is high.
 Unfortunately, labor mobility is quite low and investors also
remain focused locally.
 Alternatives focus on centralization of tax-transfer systems
and cross-border fiscal transfers  also rather unlikely.
 Most likely solution: Fiscal policy.
 How can fiscal policy stabilize country-specific economic
disturbances in the EMU?
Methodology
Two-country model with direct spillovers stemming
from trade linkages and real-exchange rate
variations.
Consider best responses of countries using game theory:
Nash equilibrium and Stackelberg model (first-
mover advantage)
Results
 Fiscal coordination efforts not based on a strong pre-
commitment capacity of the fiscal authorities (Nash
coordination) are likely to be counterproductive.
 Fiscal coordination is most likely to be desirable when
the European economy is hit by asymmetric (demand
or supply) disturbances.
 This is contrary to current research which shows that
fiscal coordination is required in cases of large
symmetric shocks.
Centralized fiscal policy: Solution
 We can use the basic conclusions from this paper in
creating a rationale for the use of fiscal policy, but we
need to be careful in accepting all of its conclusions.
 Authors have built a model which can have
assumptions that are faulty and thus predict wrongly.
 However, it does give an insight in the commitment
governance systems must show in order to let fiscal
policy work well.
Understanding the paper
How do the authors combine the two-period model to
game theory and consequently find the Nash
coordination and Stackelberg equilibrium? (theoretical
model)
Remarks from NB
 Page 4: “This is especially the case when shocks are
highly correlated between countries. Ironically thus,
fiscal coordination is most likely to be undesirable
when a set of countries form an optimum currency
area.”
 Comment: This seems to be a contradiction. One aspect
of the OCA-theory is implementing a fiscal transfer
system among member states to make up for the loss of
monetary policy autonomy.

Beetsma, debrun & klaassen (2001)

  • 1.
  • 2. Main point (aim) of the paper  The EMU as a monetary union has benefits but the biggest cost is that countries cannot use their monetary policy anymore; which is now governed by the ECB  exchange rate adjustments impossible.  Should be no problem if labor mobility is high.  Unfortunately, labor mobility is quite low and investors also remain focused locally.  Alternatives focus on centralization of tax-transfer systems and cross-border fiscal transfers  also rather unlikely.  Most likely solution: Fiscal policy.  How can fiscal policy stabilize country-specific economic disturbances in the EMU?
  • 3. Methodology Two-country model with direct spillovers stemming from trade linkages and real-exchange rate variations. Consider best responses of countries using game theory: Nash equilibrium and Stackelberg model (first- mover advantage)
  • 4. Results  Fiscal coordination efforts not based on a strong pre- commitment capacity of the fiscal authorities (Nash coordination) are likely to be counterproductive.  Fiscal coordination is most likely to be desirable when the European economy is hit by asymmetric (demand or supply) disturbances.  This is contrary to current research which shows that fiscal coordination is required in cases of large symmetric shocks.
  • 5. Centralized fiscal policy: Solution  We can use the basic conclusions from this paper in creating a rationale for the use of fiscal policy, but we need to be careful in accepting all of its conclusions.  Authors have built a model which can have assumptions that are faulty and thus predict wrongly.  However, it does give an insight in the commitment governance systems must show in order to let fiscal policy work well.
  • 6. Understanding the paper How do the authors combine the two-period model to game theory and consequently find the Nash coordination and Stackelberg equilibrium? (theoretical model)
  • 7. Remarks from NB  Page 4: “This is especially the case when shocks are highly correlated between countries. Ironically thus, fiscal coordination is most likely to be undesirable when a set of countries form an optimum currency area.”  Comment: This seems to be a contradiction. One aspect of the OCA-theory is implementing a fiscal transfer system among member states to make up for the loss of monetary policy autonomy.
