European Monetary Union
By: Richard H.K. Vietor and Sabina M. Ciminero
Abstract
On January 1, 1999, 11 European countries unified their currencies--48 years after their first integrative efforts. This marks a huge development in the structure of Europe and the world's economy. This case examines the integrative process, the Single Europe Act and its impact on market structure during the past 13 years, and monetary union. Provides data as of 1998 on European macroeconomics integration and data in the mid-1990s on integration of product markets, capital markets, and labor markets.
