Jasper H. van Dijk, Florian Schuster, Philippa Sigl-Glöckner, Vinzenz Ziesemer

In the paper, we very briefly sketch out the reform proposal put forward by the EU-Commission and make five suggestions on how this could be developed further. The annex contains two short papers covering (1) the EU methodology for computing debt sustainability and (2) expenditure rules in practice drawing on the Dutch experience.

This paper is a cooperation between the Instituut voor Publieke Economie (NL) and Dezernat Zukunft.
