Dynamic Modeling of Monetary and Fiscal Cooperation Among Nations analyzes coordination of monetary and fiscal stabilization policies between countries and currency areas using a dynamic game approach. The first four chapters introduce the reader to the dynamics of fiscal and monetary policy...

In a monetary union time inconsistency provides the rationale for central bank conservativeness and against the coordination of national fiscal policies. We show that this result is based on the implicit assumption of exogenous labor markets and that, once wage setters' behavior is explicitly...

We generalize some recent results developed in static policy games with multiple players, to a dynamic context. We find that the classical theory of economic policy can be usefully applied to a strategic context of difference games: if one player satisfies the Golden Rule, then either all other...
