[{"$nulls":4},"taking into account the effect  of underlying political conditions. We present a model where strong politics (defined as  policymakers facing longer political horizon and higher cohesion) are associated with better fiscal  performance, but fixed exchange rates may revert this result and lead to less fiscal discipline. We  confirm these hypotheses through regression analysis performed on a panel sample covering 79  countries from 1975 to 2012. Our empirical results also show that the positive effect of strong  politics on fiscal discipline is not enough to counter the negative impact of being at/moving to  fixed exchange rates. Finally, we use the synthetic control method to illustrate how the transition  from flexible to fully fixed exchange rate under the Euro impacted negatively fiscal discipline in  European countries. Our results are robust to a number of important sensitivity checks, including  different estimators, alternative proxies for fiscal discipline, and sub-sample analysis."]
