Book excerpt: It is commonly argued that the successful stabilisation of asymmetric shocks in a monetary union requires, either flexible wages and/or labour mobility, absent inter-regional fiscal transfer payments. The current pattern of relative wage rigidity and labour inertia in Europe is thus viewed by many observers as a problematic factor in the successful functioning of the European common currency area. We investigate in the context of some historical case studies whether monetary integration can bring about a regime shift in the degree of labour market flexibility. Specifically, we employ econometric methods to test whether the onset of monetary union in the US and the Gold Standard in selected countries have rendered real wages more procyclical. Previously entitled: 'The Endogeneity of Optimum Currency Area Criteria in Historical Perspective - Some Lessons for European Monetary Union (EMU)' We find and qualify suggestive evidence from our empirical exercise that indeed a Lucas Critique argument applies so that monetary unions and credibly fixed exchange rate regimes in general might induce wages to carry the burden of macroeconomic adjustment in lieu of independent monetary policy and/or fiscal transfers. We argue that economic theory should borrow a leaf from the book of economic history and - rather than treating wage formation as exogenous - we consider the degree of real wage flexibility to depend upon the nature of the monetary policy regime. We conclude by relating our findings to the European Monetary Union (EMU).

Book Synopsis The endogeneity of the optimum currency area criteria, intraindustry trade, and EMU enlargement by : Jarko Fidrmuc
Download or read book The endogeneity of the optimum currency area criteria, intraindustry trade, and EMU enlargement written by Jarko Fidrmuc and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper tests an endogeneity hypothesis of optimum currency area (OCA) criteria (Frankel and Rose, 1998) on a cross-section of OECD countries between 1990 and 1999. The findings indicate that convergence of business cycles relates to intra-industry trade, but has no direct relation between business cycles and bilateral trade intensity. As far as intra-industry trade is positively correlated with trade intensities, this result confirms the OCA endogeneity hypothesis. The endogeneity of OCA linkage criteria implies extensive business cycle harmonization between CEECs and EU countries in the medium term.

Book Synopsis Should UK enter the EMU by : Hartwin Maas
Download or read book Should UK enter the EMU written by Hartwin Maas and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2008-08-25 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2005 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: 1,2, Arnhem Business School (Arnhem Business School), course: International Economics, language: English, abstract: Since the beginning of the idea of the European Monetary Union (EMU), UK had a negative attitude towards a single monetary policy with a single currency. This antipathy was amplified on the one hand by the withdrawal of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism in 1992 caused by different economic policies, oil price rises and German unification and on the other hand by the launch of the EMU in 1999. In fact the UK government starts to work towards cooperation with the EMU by setting specific goals. But before taking further steps, the criteria of the Maastricht Treaty have to be fulfilled and the five economic tests assessed by the UK government have to be passed. Since 1997 the UK has made real progress towards meeting the five economic tests. Although there are arguments that in a long term the payback of joining EMU offset the costs, the benefits are too low and the costs too high at the moment. The idea of one currency in Europe has been around for many years. But according to Pitchford the true launching of the EMU process dates from the Werner Committee which was set up in 1970 and submitted its final report, called 'the Werner Report', in February 1971. The first major step for the implementation of the Werner plan was the European 'currency snake' in 1972. Through this arrangement the fluctuations between participants' exchange rates should be limited to ± 2.25%. However, this process was not effective because of the collapse of the Bretton-Woods regime which determined a fixed exchange rate in terms of gold. The UK joined the snake system just for one month. A further step was the creation of the European Monetary System (EMS) in 1979. The main objective of this system was to create monetary stability in Europe. This should be realized by the fixed rates between the currencies of the participating countries which where settled on their value against the European Currency Unit (ECU4). The UK did not join in the EMS and was still remote at the time of Delors Report in 1989.
Book Synopsis Lessons for EMU from the History of Monetary Unions by : Michael D. Bordo
Download or read book Lessons for EMU from the History of Monetary Unions written by Michael D. Bordo and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of monetary unions is a relatively unexplored area in economics. Yet it should be able to provide guidance for Europe's venture into monetary union. In Readings 50, Michael Bordo and Lars Jonung discuss both the history and the lessons it may hold for EMU. Their paper is followed by six commentaries by other distinguished economists with a variety of viewpoints on monetary union. The book is introduced by Robert Mundell who pioneered the optimal currency area approach and who was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics in 1999.

Book Synopsis A Formal Model of Optimum Currency Areas by : Mr.Tamim Bayoumi
Download or read book A Formal Model of Optimum Currency Areas written by Mr.Tamim Bayoumi and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1994-04-01 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A model of optimum currency areas is presented using a general equilibrium model with regionally differentiated goods. The choice of a currency union depends upon the size of the underlying disturbances, the correlation between these disturbances, the costs of transactions across currencies, factor mobility across regions, and the interrelationships between demand for different goods. It is found that, while a currency union can raise the welfare of the regions within the union, it unambiguously lowers welfare for those outside the union.

This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 1,7, University of applied sciences, Cologne, course: Economics, language: English, abstract: On the 1st of January 1999, 11 European countries adopted the Euro as their official currency. A new Economic and Monetary Union with more than 300 million citizens was born. Sharing a common currency offers several advantages for countries, firms and citizens like enhanced cross-border trade, a better price transparency or the disappearance of foreign exchange rate risks. However, a Monetary Union also comes with constraints like the loss of exchange rate regime of its members which is an important instrument to fight adverse shocks. In order to minimize economic risks for its members and to foster the economic stability of the future European EMU, the European Union member states agreed to meet the Euro Convergence Criteria as a requirement to adopt the Euro. During the negotiations about the necessary criterion, the theory of Optimal Currency Areas - a theory which has its origin in the Bretton Woods era - was deliberately reincarnated by economists to verify whether or not the Eurozone can become a successful EMU. Until today the (traditional) OCA theory is often used by the literature and also by politicians to evince fundamental flaws of the Eurozone. This assignment investigates the Eurozone in the light of the theory of Optimal Currency Areas. In the first part of this assignment the main contributors to the theory of Optimal Currency Areas are enumerated and its most significant factors are explained. The second part applies the listed factors to the Eurozone in order to determine whether or not a specific criterion is fulfilled by the European EMU. A summary and conclusion complete this essay.
Book Synopsis The Endogeneity of the Optimum Currency Area Criteria by : Jeffrey A. Frankel
Download or read book The Endogeneity of the Optimum Currency Area Criteria written by Jeffrey A. Frankel and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A country's suitability for entry into a currency union depends on a number of economic conditions. These include, inter alia, the intensity of trade with other potential members of the currency union, and the extent to which domestic business cycles are correlated with those of the other countries. But international trade patterns and international business cycle correlations are endogenous. This paper develops and investigates the relationship between the two phenomena. Using thirty years of data for twenty industrialized countries, we uncover a strong and striking empirical finding: countries with closer trade links tend to have more tightly correlated business cycles. It follows that countries are more likely to satisfy the criteria for entry into a currency union after taking steps toward economic integration than before.

Book Synopsis A Model of An Optimum Currency Area by : Mr. Luca Antonio Ricci
Download or read book A Model of An Optimum Currency Area written by Mr. Luca Antonio Ricci and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1997-06-01 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the circumstances under which it is beneficial to participate in a currency area. A two-country monetary model of trade with nominal rigidities encompasses the real and monetary arguments suggested by the optimum currency area literature: correlation of real shocks, international factor mobility, fiscal adjustment, openness, difference in national inflationary biases, correlation of monetary shocks, and benefits of a single currency. The effect of openness on the net benefits is ambiguous, contrary to the usual argument that more open economies are better candidates for a currency area. Countries do not necessarily agree on whether a given currency union should be created.

Book Synopsis What is European Economic and Monetary Union Telling Us About the Properties of Optimum Currency Areas? by : Francesco Paolo Mongelli
Download or read book What is European Economic and Monetary Union Telling Us About the Properties of Optimum Currency Areas? written by Francesco Paolo Mongelli and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our understanding of optimum currency area (OCA) properties has changed over time. While all properties can now be discussed in detail, the challenge of weighing and reconciling them remains. Looking ahead, we may be confronted with two distinct paradigms: specialization versus 'endogeneity of OCA' that may give rise to a paradox if taken to the extreme. The merits of OCA theory as an organizing device and a research catalyst are underlined, but its limitations are also revealed. Also noted here is the complementarity between empirical studies of OCA properties and progress toward EMU.
