| ''The European fiscal framework: What lessons can we learn from the crisis?'' |
| ( 2011, Vol. 31 No.1 ) |

| |
| This paper provides some explanation of recent fiscal developments in European countries and offers several guidelines for a new European fiscal framework. We propose a framework based on three pillars: a quantitatively and qualitatively extended preventive arm, an improved dissuasive arm and a financial arm that facilitates financial solidarity between member states, thus increasing the credibility of the euro area. |
