EMU and Economic Policy in Europe: The Challenge of the Early Years


Add your own review!

Overview

EMU is a policy regime which has significant economic implications and which, it is hoped, will ultimately enhance the role of Europe on the world stage. This title takes stock of the initial experiences of EMU and assesses the challenges which will have to be addressed in the early years of its existence to ensure its long-term objectives are successfully achieved. Bringing together scholars and policymakers, the book considers some of the most pertinent and significant issues surrounding the euro from a variety of different perspectives. These include the behaviour of monetary and fiscal authorities, the implications for policy co-ordination, the impact of the euro on financial markets and the consequences of EU enlargement.

Reviews

'All the economists who have contributed to this volume are both distinguished scholars and active participants in the policy debate. Over the years, they have greatly helped policymakers, at the national and Union levels, to identify and understand the difficult policy choices involved in the running of EMU. I am grateful for their contribution to the success of the euro.' -- From the foreword by Pedro Solbes
