Abstract

[eng] The convergence of European fiscal policy : where do we stand ? . The Maastricht criteria reinforced by the Stability and Growth Pact were notably set up in order to favour the convergence of European fiscal policies. They nevertheless do not constitute a sufficient condition insofar as they concern a particular way of defining public deficits. On top, the question of convergence of public expenditures has not been raised. Thus, the aim of this paper is to put forward the different elements that could favour or conversely slow down the convergence process. Fiscal constraints constitute indeed an important point but the role played by fiscal competition is also to be considered. On the other hand, the persistence of asymmetric shocks as well as the heterogeneities in the monetary transmission channels should not contribute to the convergence of fiscal policies. . JEL classification : E62, H3 [fre] Les critères de Maastricht renforcés par le Pacte de stabilité ont notamment pour objectif de favoriser la convergence des politiques budgétaires européennes. Néanmoins, ces contraintes ne constituent sans doute pas une condition suffisante dans la mesure où les critères ne portent que sur une mesure particulière du déficit. De plus, la question de la convergence des dépenses publiques n'est pas abordée. L'objectif de cet article est de mettre en avant un certain nombre d'éléments qui sont de nature à favoriser ou au contraire à freiner le processus de convergence. Si les contraintes du Pacte de stabilité peuvent certainement jouer un rôle important, d'autres éléments sont à prendre en compte. Nous nous intéressons à ce titre au rôle de la concurrence fiscale. À l'opposé, la persistance de chocs asymétriques ainsi que l'existence d'hétérogénéités structurelles dans la transmission de la politique monétaire sont susceptibles de freiner la convergence. . . Classification JEL : E62, H3
