Abstract

There is now a rapidly growing literature dealing with the relationship between fiscal and monetary policies in complete or incomplete monetary unions.2 Much of this literature is a reaction to the Delors Report and to the Maastricht Treaty. The Report suggested and the Treaty institutionalized binding fiscal rules for monetary convergence. Since then these rules have been intensively debated. Many authors regard them as superfluous or as arbitrarily fixed.
