Monetary policy as an optimum currency area criterion

Dominik Groll

No 1969, Kiel Working Papers from Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW Kiel)

Abstract: Whether countries benefit from forming a monetary union depends critically on the way monetary policy is conducted. This is mainly because monetary policy determines whether and to what extent a flexible nominal exchange rate fosters or hampers macroeconomic stabilization, even if monetary policy does not target the nominal exchange rate explicitly.
