Abstract

[fre] L’unification monétaire européenne est-elle passée par une réelle convergence des “ préférences des politiques monétaires ” au sein de la zone Euro ? Cette étude mesure l’importance des objectifs de stabilité anticipée des prix et de stabilisation conjoncturelle, en proposant une méthode d’estimation de règles de Taylor sur différents pays européens, et compare les résultats notamment à ceux obtenus récemment par Clarida, Gali et Gertler (NBER 6254). Les estimations montrent les tendances communes de renforcement de la lutte anti-inflation en Europe, au détriment parfois de la stabilisation conjoncturelle. Toutefois, ces estimations apparaissent sensibles à l’introduction d’autres variables reflétant les contraintes “ extérieures ” qui pourraient résulter de la coordination. Il apparaît ainsi que les taux d’intérêt allemands ont parfois influencé d’autres politiques monétaires, ce qui pourrait témoigner d’un fonctionnement monétaire asymétrique avant l’Euro. [eng] Are Monetary Policy Rules in Europe Converging Prior to the Euro ? . by Laurent Bouscharain . Has European monetary union entailed genuine convergence of “ monetary policy preferences” within the euro area ? This study measures the importance of the objectives of forecast price stability and cyclical stabilisation by offering a method of estimating Taylor rules for various European countries and compares the outcomes in particular with those recently obtained by Clarida, Gali and Gertler (NBER 6254). The results illustrate a common tendency to strengthen counterinflationary policy in Europe, sometimes to the detriment of cyclical stabilisation. However, the estimations seem sensitive to introduction of other variables reflecting the “ external” constraints that could arise from coordination. It thus appears that German interest rates have sometimes influenced other monetary policies, which would be evidence of asymmetric operation of monetary rules prior to the euro.
