Now that the common  currency is a reality, questions concerning the practical conduct of  monetary policy in the European Monetary Union (EMU) are moving to the  forefront of the policy debate. Among these, one of the most critical  is how the new monetary union will cope with the large heterogeneity  of its member economies. Given the large differences in economic and  financial structures among the EMU member states, monetary policy is  likely to affect different member economies in different ways. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eRegional Aspects of Monetary Policy in Europe\u003c\/em\u003e collects the  proceedings of an international conference held at the Center for  European Integration Studies of the University of Bonn, dedicated to  this issue. The contributions to this conference fall into two parts.  The first part consists of empirical and theoretical studies of the  regional effects of monetary policy in heterogeneous monetary unions.  The second part consists of papers analyzing the political economy of  monetary policy in a monetary union of heterogeneous regions or member  states. \u003cbr\u003e  The papers all support the conclusion that regional differences in the  responses to a common monetary policy will make European monetary  policy especially difficult in the years to come. Such differences  arise from a variety of sources, and they cannot be expected to be  mere teething troubles that will disappear after a while. Even if they  were ignored in the run-up to the EMU, Europe's central bankers and  economic policy makers will have to learn how to cope with such  differences in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-07\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781441951113\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781441951113\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-6390-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 328\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359201259660,"sku":"9781441951113","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781441951113_2e236f48-1a3f-4af5-85d2-59b3c7268ac5.jpg?v=1755105026","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781441951113","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
