At the Birth of the Euro Area

Peter Bergeijk, Ron Berndsen and Jos Jansen

Chapter 1 in The Economics of the Euro Area, 2000, pp 1-18 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: 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. The authors first analyse the development of the euro area from a historical perspective. They then examine the criteria for the first eleven countries to qualify for EMU and speculate whether the same countries would have joined if the qualification date had been a year later.
