Stabilization Policy in an Open High-Employment Economy : Swedish Experiences

• The purpose of this paper is to try to reach some conclusions about the possibilities of a successful stabilization policy in an open high-employment eceonomy by drawing on the expereinces from one particular country, namely Sweden. An attempt is made to concentrate on aspects and experiences of a general theoretical interest rather than trying to report in detail on specific Swedish problems. We shall mainly study two basic prerequisites for a successful stbilization policy: (1) adequate scope and timing of policy action, and (2) ability to solve conflicts of goals. the paper will be organized around these two issues.
