''Multilateral surveillance in the Stability and Growth Pact: an analysis through information sharing''
( 2004, Vol. 5 No.15 )
 
 
In this article we use the concept of information sharing from oligopolistic games to analyse the multilateral surveillance of budget positions introduced with the Stability and Growth Pact. In a game between one monetary authority and various fiscal authorities, we will show that the multilateral surveillance does not lead to closer to target average budget deficits compared to a benchmark case of no surveillance.
