Resum:
We study the extent of macroeconomic convergence/divergence among euro area countries. Our 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 non-euro developed economies and the pre-EMU period as control samples.
Paraules clau:
macroeconomic convergence, labor markets, competitiveness, inflation differentials, current account imbalances, relative prices.
