Governance of the Euro area: Fiscal union, debt union, fiscal freedom
Abstract
Over the past three years, as the euro area has struggled with high levels of sovereign debt, it has been gradually developing into a debt union. However, this is not a sustainable arrangement. This article proposes two alternatives to a debt union: a fiscal union and a monetary union with fiscal freedom and evaluates the pros and cons of each approach.
