Business Cycle Affiliations in the Context of European Integration

2003

We study affiliations for the countries of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) with Germany and the US, using various business cycle measures derived from quarterly real GDP. These measures are Hodrick-Prescott and Baxter-King filtered series, together with annual and quarterly growth rates. Using rolling contemporaneous and maximum (over a short lead/lag interval) correlations, we document increasing correlations of EMU countries with Germany, with these typically being largest during the 1990s. We also document a strong leading role for the US in relation to these countries in the period since 1993, thereby correcting the fallacy that the European business cycle was disjoint fr…

Testing for external sustainability under a monetary integration process. Does the Lawson doctrine apply to Europe?

2015

Monetary integration, and more specifically, the creation of a monetary union in Europe, raises new economic questions concerning its functioning and governance. In particular, we focus on the implications of high and persistent current account deficits for the economic performance of monetary union members in the medium term. Recent literature has argued that conventional measures of external sustainability are misleading because they omit the effects of capital variations on net foreign asset positions due to, among others, stock or debt market crises. In this paper we revisit external sustainability making use of the database developed by Lane and Milesi-Ferretti (2007) that includes the…

Le dinamiche del terziario nei Paesi europei: una riflessione sulla base dei dati ufficiali

2009

La maggiore rilevanza assunta dal settore terziario, in concomitanza ad un costante processo di deindustrializzazione, ci ha indotto ad analizzare il fenomeno la cui evoluzione è fortemente legata ai cambiamenti che negli ultimi decenni hanno caratterizzato la struttura produttiva dei sistemi economici più avanzati. Dopo una breve considerazione delle differenti teorie formulate in anni recenti, il presente lavoro esamina, sia a livello globale che con un maggiore dettaglio, le dinamiche della terziarizzazione nell’ambito dell’EU13 per il decennio 1996-2005. A questo scopo si è fatto ricorso ai dati EUROSTAT, riguardanti il manifatturiero e un sub-insieme del terziario privato, derivandone …

Why so much EURO-scepticism among Euro-enthusiasts?

2016

This paper addresses the intriguing situation in which there is an identified paradox inside the Polish society, namely strong Euro-enthusiasm combined with clear EURO-scepticism. The author of this article differentiates between EURO-scepticism and Euro-scepticism. Euro-scepticism is a recognised and extensively researched phenomenon across Europe, most generally conceptualised as a negative attitude towards the European integration process (in particular in the form of the European Union). EURO-scepticism, by contrast, is a much narrower category which can be characterised as a negative attitude towards the monetary integration on a supranational level, its deepening, participation in it,…

New Evidence of the Real Interest Rate Parity for OECD Countries Using Panel Unit Root Tests with Breaks

2006

This paper tests for real interest parity (RIRP) among the nineteen major OECD countries over the period 1978:Q2-1998:Q4. The econometric methods applied consist of combining the use of several unit root or stationarity tests designed for panels valid under cross-section dependence and presence of multiple structural breaks. Our results strongly support the fulfillment of the weak version of the RIRP for the studied period once dependence and structural breaks are accounted for.

Social service professionals in Finland under the pressures of a depressed economy and European integration

1993

The Nordic welfare states are known as women-friendly. However, during the last years their policies have been to turn the back on women. At least in Finland there seem to exist two powerful forces that have advanced the non-egalitarian development: the economic recession of the 1990s and the integration of Europe. The decline of the Nordic welfare states is going to have considerable consequences for social service professionals, the great majority of whom are women. Therefore, they should create new strategies and find new allies in order to defend their own as well their clients rights.
