摘要
This paper explores the fiscal policy in member countries of European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). The purpose is to determine procyclical or countercyclical elements in EMU members fiscal policy. In order to do so, we determine correlations between certain taxes and public expenditures, on one hand, and GDP, on the other hand. The existence of strong positive (negative) correlations suggests greater countercyclical effect of taxes (expenditures) that can be explained by automatic stabilizers functioning or countercyclical discretionary measures.
