    How is the price level determined in a monetary union when the common monetary policy pegs the nominal interest rate? How are the price levels in the member countries determined? We extend the fiscal theory of the price level to the case of a heterogenous monetary union. Price level determinacy follows if fiscal policy at the level of the union as a whole is active. Different combinations of national fiscal policies and a common fiscal policy with "Eurobonds" amount to active fiscal policy for the union, but can have very different implications for the effects of fiscal and monetary policy. We propose how to coordinate the national policies and the common policy for union-wide policy to be active.

    We study a model in which policy aims at aggregate price stability. A fiscal imbalance materializes that, if uncorrected, must cause inflation, but the imbalance may get corrected in the future with some probability. By maintaining price stability in the near term, monetary policy can buy time for a correction to take place. The policy gamble may succeed, preserving price and fiscal stability, or fail, leading to a delayed, possibly large jump in the price level. The resulting dynamics resemble the models of a currency crisis following Krugman (1979) and Obstfeld (1986). Like in Obstfeld's work, multiple equilibria arise naturally: whether or not price stability is preserved may depend on private agents' expectations. The model can be reinterpreted as a model of partial default on public debt, in which case it is reminiscent of Calvo (1988).

    In dieser Studie werden die Effekte von Geld- und Fiskalpolitik auf Konsumentenerwartungen in Szenarien von hohem und niedrigem öffentlichen Schuldenstand empirisch untersucht. In Reaktion auf einen Anstieg der Staatsausgaben steigen Konsumpläne bei niedrigem, fallen jedoch bei hohem Schuldenstand. Insgesamt haben höhere Staatsausgaben einen adversen Effekt auf Erwartungen, wenn Staatsschulden bereits hoch sind. Auch in Hinblick auf Geldpolitik können zustandsabhängige Effekte beobachtet werden. Ein Zinsanstieg wirkt sich negativ auf Erwartungen aus, wenn Staatsschulden hoch sind, nicht aber wenn diese niedrig sind. Die Reaktion von Konsumenten auf Geld- und Fiskalpolitik legt nahe, dass höhere Staatsschulden Erwägungen über ihre Rückzahlung befördern, die sich auf die Erwartungsbildung auswirken.
