Supply and demand shocks in accession countries to the Economic and Monetary Union

Article Abstract:

The relative incidence of demand and supply shocks in the incumbent and the accession countries, on which the success of enlargement in Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) depends, is studied using a bivariate vector autoregression model. Even though the degree of synchronization in business cycle shocks among EMU accession countries is significant, still the country-specific shocks between current and would-be members of EMU dominate.
