Description

The book develops a general framework for the macroeconomic modeling of monetary unions.

The starting point of the analysis is the standard two-country Mundell-Fleming model with perfect capital mobility, extended to incorporate the supply side in a context of rigid real wages, and modified so that the money market is common for two countries forming a monetary union.

The model is presented in two versions: for a small and a large monetary union, respectively.

After solving each model, the authors derive multipliers for monetary, expenditure, supply, and external shocks, both in the short and the long run; a graphical analysis is also provided.

Special attention is paid to the crucial distinction between symmetric and asymmetric shocks.
