Koncepcja Rady Polityki Fiskalnej w Polsce

This paper discusses whether an independent fiscal policy council (FPC) should be set up in Poland, a country that has had problems with fiscal discipline for years. It starts with theoretical underpinnings for such an institution, namely the reasons for a so-called deficit bias such as shortsightedness of the government, common-pool problem and time-inconsistency of optimal policy. Then it proceeds to the variants of delegating control over fiscal policy, forecast formulation and evaluation and advice to such a body by elected politicians. After these considerations, the arguments in favor of setting up an FPC in Poland are outlined and broad guidelines to its shape are presented.
