DESCRIPTION:Various rationalisations have been offered in the literature t
 o justify the need for fiscal rules in a monetary union. The recent Europe
 an experience\, however\, shows that the enforcement of such rules is\, at
  least\, incomplete and selective. In this paper we develop a model which 
 allows consideration of the enforceability and effectiveness of alternativ
 e rules in achieving fiscal policy discipline in a multinational monetary 
 union.\n\nGeorgios Chortareas is a professor of economics at the Universit
 y of Athens. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Connecticut in 1
 999. Before joining the University of Athens he worked at the Bank of Engl
 and and at the Essex Business School (Reader in International Finance). He
  is a member of the Money Macro Finance Research Group Committee and of th
 e Executive Board of the European Public Choice Society\n
