This papper proposes a comparison of EMU's different fisca rules, i.e. the stability and growth Pact, the structural deficit rule and the golden rule. From comparing the economic stabilizing effects and their consistency with the monetaty policy, it concludes that the Pact is better in the case...

This paper studies coordination of Fiscal policies in a monetary union in terms of sta- bilization performance. We use a static model of closed monetary union and numerical simulations in which macroeconomic heterogeneities are introduced. Results show that the coordination is an e¢ cient tool...

In this paper, using monetary policy rules, we build a model which describes the fixing of the interest rate by the Bank of Central African's States (BEAC). First, with a GMM adapted for a forward looking rule, we propose a reaction function for this central bank. The result shows that from 1986...

This study sheds light on the effect of fiscal policy on the Ivorian economy by measuring the value of the different Keynesian multipliers and the possible origins of GDP fluctuation during the period of this study. For this paper, one preferred a Bayesian estimation of a Dynamic Stochastic...

This paper studies coordination of fiscal policies in a monetary union in terms of stabilization performance. We use a static model of closed monetary union and numerical simulations in which macroeconomic heterogeneities are introduced. Results show that the coordination is an efficient tool to...

Dans les débats sur la zone Euro et son élargissement, l’accent est souvent mis sur le problème de l’hétérogénéité entre les pays. Mais les difcultés à se coordonner ne provi- ennent pas nécessairement de la disparité entre les pays, tout au moins si le nombre de pays est...

Given a monetary Union which is heterogeneous at the level of labour market flexibility, this paper investigates the effects in terms of macroeconomic stabilization of the different degrees of fiscal coordination between governments. We use a static Keynesian model within a closed monetary Union...

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the mechanisms of stabilization of shocks in heterogeneous monetary zone, with an application on the Franc Franc zone. The study assesses the advantages and disadvantages of budget cooperation strategies against non-cooperation. It shows that fiscal...
