Patterns of Convergence and Divergence in the Euro Area

IMF Economic Review, 2013, vol. 61, issue 4, 630 pages

Abstract: This article studies the extent of macroeconomic convergence/divergence among euro area countries. The analysis focuses on four variables (unemployment, inflation, relative prices, and the current account), and seeks to uncover the role played by monetary union as a convergence factor by using noneuro developed economies and the pre-European Monetary Union period as control samples.
