Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, 2018, vol. 93, issue C, 154-174

Abstract: This paper develops a New Keynesian model of a monetary union where atomistic-small economies coexist with a large economy. It explores how the level of public debt shapes non-cooperative discretionary policies. It evaluates welfare losses for small and large member countries.
