Monetary policy in transition
Milan Nikolić
"Lack of coordination of fiscal and monetary policies, disregard for the high degree of inflation persistency, unstable relations and bilateral causality between money supply and inflation, all imply an inappropriateness of money-based stabilizations for the transition economy of postcommunist Russia conducted under the auspices of the IMF. As a representative of the West, the IMF pretended to aid Russians through stabilisation. The IMF promised loans while the Russian government promised reforms. This turned out to be a pseudo lending for pseudo reforms with disastrous consequences for the Russian economy as explored and scrutinized in this volume."--BOOK JACKET.

The interaction of monetary policy and wage bargaining in the European Monetary Union
Sebastian Dullien
"Sebastian Dullien gives a explanation for unemployment and inflation in the Euro-Zone. He argues that unemployment stems from a lack of cooperation between unions and monetary authorities. In an economy with endogenous money and monopolistic competition in good markets, the standard economic textbooks' distribution of macroeconomic responsibilities are turned upside down - wage setters are now responsible for price stability while the European Central Bank is responsible for level of output." "Only unions with a small and limited constituency can increase employment by simple wage restraint. However, this is shown to be a beggar-thy-neighbour policy, destroying employment elsewhere. On a European level, only when unions and the central bank cooperate can high employment and low inflation be achieved simultaneously. The institutional set-up with the 1999 Cologne process is found to be unable to assure such a cooperation."--BOOK JACKET.
