Abstract
Fiscal policy has remained under the authority of national governments in “Euroland,” while monetary policy is unified in the hands of the European Central Bank. This arrangement does not produce optimal results. This article looks at the normative foundations of fiscal policy in the European Union, by mapping the allocative function, stabilization, and redistribution policies onto three models of legitimacy: the problem-solving European Union, the communitarian model, and the European Republic.
