A special focus has been on coordination of fiscal policy in the euro area: to what extent it should be deepened, and how the augmentation should be implemented? Does evolution of the Eurozone inevitably lead towards more federalist structures? A lively debate on the appropriate fiscal policy stance is also going on: what kind of fiscal policy would be optimal, when the economy is growing slowly despite ultra-low interest rates, but rapidly increasing public debt constraints options for reflating?

These were among the topics to be discussed in a seminar on fiscal policy making in the euro area that The Research Institute of the Finnish Economy ETLA organised

on 16 October 2012 at 9.00 – 15.30

at Event Arena Bank, Union Square auditorium, Unioninkatu 20, Helsinki.

Top European economists laid the ground for discussion. Presentations and prepared comments can be downloaded from the links below.
