520 _aWe study optimal fiscal policies in a small monetary union country. The government uses nominal nonstate-contingent debt and distortionary labour taxes to finance exogenous spending. Price levels differ across countries due toconsumption home bias; thus fiscal policy influences inflation and the terms oftrade. Prices are flexible. We show that, unlike in a country with an independent monetary policy, somevariability in labour taxes is optimal. With nominal public debt there is an incentive to use taxes to inflate in bad times when debt levels are high, reminiscent of the optimal monetary policy result of Chari et al.(1991).
