The economics of the euro area

"This book examines the monetary integration of the group of countries which constitute the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), signalling the emergence of a truly European Economy. The authors devote their considerable expertise to the analysis of macroeconomic policies within EMU and the economic analysis underlying the conduct of these policies." "This book will be required reading for scholars and policy makers in the areas of European studies, macroeconomic policy and financial economics."--Jacket.
