In this essay we study the optimal noncoordinated fiscal policy in a monetary union, where a common and independent monetary authority commits to optimally set the union-wide nominal interest rate. The national governments in the monetary union implement independent fiscal policies by choosing...

In this paper we build a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model of a small open monetary union with optimal monetary and fiscal policy, to study the transmission of country specific shocks and associated exchange rate fluctuations. We show that movements of the monetary union's exchange...

This paper uses a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with three countries to study the effects of implementation of an open monetary union on international fluctuations. We consider the effects of unanticipated country specific shocks on technology and government spending. We compare...
