External Imbalances and Fiscal Policy

Philip Lane

The Institute for International Integration Studies Discussion Paper Series from IIIS

Abstract: We analyse the role of fiscal policy both in the emergence and the unwinding of external imbalances. Furthermore, we probe whether there is a role for fiscal policy in the prevention of excessive external imbalances. Finally, we ask whether fiscal policy could in practice successfully fulfill such a role.
