Abstract

In a monetary union the central bank constitution must distribute the power over monetary policy between the members and the administrative center of the union. We compare alternative distributions and evaluate their performance. Dominance of regional interests always leads to inefficient monetary stabilization policies. Whether or not dominance of regional interests leads to a higher long-run rate of inflation depends on the union's political constitution.
