This workshop aims to provide a rigorous account of the operation of macroeconomic policy in Europe, both within the euro area and in its periphery. It will build on the latest developments in macroeconomics to assess: the need for coordination between monetary and fiscal authorities (and/or among the fiscal authorities themselves) within EMU; the desirability of alternative monetary and exchange rate arrangements for neighbouring European countries that 4540
are not members of EMU; deficit and debt spillovers, sustainability of fiscal policies and the role of the Stability and Growth Pact; and empirical fiscal policy rules, how fiscal policy is being conducted in Europe. This conference forms part of a Research Training Network (EC Contract no.: HPRN-CT-2002-00237) funded by the RTN programme of the European Commission. |
