German dominance in the EMS

Michele Fratianni and Juergen von Hagen

Open Economies Review, 1990, vol. 1, issue 1, 67-87

Abstract: The paper assesses the merit of the view according to which the Bundesbank dominates monetary policy-making in the European Monetary System. Our tests give a strong rejection of German dominance and suggest, instead, that monetary policymaking in the EMS is interactive. There is evidence that the Bundesbank pursues her own policy goals in the longer run. But German independence does not imply German dominance. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 1990
