Abstract: Abstract We study financial linkages and risk sharing in four types of currency unions: segmented markets; a banking union; a capital market union; and complete financial markets. We analyze how these economies respond to various shocks. Broadly speaking, we find that a banking union is efficient at sharing demand shocks (deleveraging, fiscal consolidation), while a capital market union is necessary to share supply shocks (including quality/technology shocks). We present theoretical results where either type of union can exactly replicate the complete market allocation, as well as calibration of welfare gains.
