Abstract
This paper examines and compares the costs of noncooperative (i.e., national) fiscal policies in a monetary union, with the costs of assigning monetary policy to price stability and fiscal policy to output growth as recommended in the Maastricht Treaty. Compared to a fully coordinated monetary union, the authors find that national fiscal policies cause problems in the face of asymmetries between countries but few problems for symmetric (converged) economies. The fiscal-monetary assignments cause problems in either case but paradoxically greater problems appear in the symmetric rather than asymmetric case.
