Stability bonds for the Eurozone

The diversity of European economic cycles, economic structures, and political dynamics is a strength of the Eurozone.

This column proposes the creation of a system of stability bonds for the Eurozone. These could be structured to minimise moral hazard, improve governance, and ensure that fiscal policy can support growth during the next recession.
