Abstract
The objective of this article is to analyze the efficiency conditions of a coordinate rule. And from there, to establish the institutional framework best adapted to this rule. The proposed model starts from a position of perfect coordination of fiscal policies. Two cases are considered: (1) a strict coordination rule, (2) a flexible coordination rule. The first case is modeled within a symmetric information game, the second one within an asymmetric information situation. The theoretical results suggest policy implications about the optimal institutional structure in Europe.
