Coordination of Monetary and Fiscal Policy

Main Article Content

Witold Jakóbik

Abstract

Monetary and fiscal coordination is extensively discussed in economic publications. The debate involves both mainstream and institutional economics as well as political sciences. The article contributes to this debate. It reviews theoretical positions adopted in macroeconomics and examines various aspects of the macroeconomic policy mix. In the analysis the author puts forward a clear thesis: it seems doubtful to define an optimal interaction between the government and the central bank because of the changeable institutional framework of the policy coordination.
