The author investigates the importance of horizontal (although rule‐based) coordination by assuming different sequential arrangements for the interaction game.…”

“…Di Bartolomeo and Di Gioacchino (2008) focus on the long-run effects of institutional arrangements (sequence of moves) on public debt dynamics. Hughes Hallett (2008aHallett ( , 2008b creates fiscal pre-commitment by allowing fiscal policy to achieve certain long-run objectives, such as low debt, better public services, and/or social equality, whereas short-run stabilization is left to automatic stabilizers. The government budget constraint corresponds to a debt target, whereas the fiscal authority's loss function differs from the literature in that it includes a debt target instead of the fiscal stance.…”

In all papers, fiscal pre-commitment is assumed by allowing fiscal policy to achieve certain long-run objectives, such as low debt, better public services and/or social equality.…”

“…In particular, the central bank is more independent the less it encompasses those external concerns. In Hughes Hallett and Weymark (2007) and Hughes Hallett (2005Hallett ( , 2008a, the authors consider a two-stage game, where at the first stage the government chooses the degree of central bank's independence and its weight for the linear output-gap target relative to inflation, which simply shows the degree of conservatism, in the sense of Rogoff (1985a). The second stage is a standard game of fiscal leadership.…”
