EMU and Economic
Policy in Europe
The Challenge of the Early Years
Edited by Marco Buti
European Commission and André Sapir EMU and Economic Policy in Europe
'All the economists who have contributed to this
volume are both distinguished scholars and active
participants in the policy debate. Over the years,
they have greatly helped policymakers, at the
national and Union levels, to identify and
understand the difficult policy choices involved
in the running of EMU. I am grateful for their
contribution to the success of the euro.'
- From the foreword by Pedro Solbes
EMU is a completely new policy regime which
has significant economic implications and
which, it is hoped, will ultimately enhance the
role of Europe on the world stage. EMU and
Economic Policy in Europe takes stock of the
Initial experiences of EMU and assesses the
challenges which will have to be addressed in
the early years of its existence to ensure its
long-term objectives are successfully achieved.
Bringing together leading scholars and
policymakers, the book considers some of
the most pertinent and significant issues
surrounding the euro from a variety of different
perspectives. These include the behaviour of
monetary and fiscal authorities, the implications
for policy co-ordination, the impact of the euro
on financial markets and the consequences of
EU enlargement.
The distinguished array of authors have
produced a comprehensive and balanced
assessment of the initial economic and
policy challenges facing EMU. European
policymakers,financial economists and
anyone with an interest in the process of
European integration will benefit from
reading this accomplished book. EMU and Economic Policy in Europe To Giovanni Ravasio EMU and Economic
