Springer - EMU, Financial Markets and the World Economy

Explore the complex relationship between the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and global financial systems through this scholarly work by Springer. Based on the "EMU and the Outside World" conference held at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in December 1998, this book provides a deep look into the economic landscape during a transformative period for Europe. The content stems from research organized by the Swiss Institute for Business Cycle Research (KOF). This research was a collaborative effort involving the ETH, the Swiss Society for Business Cycle Research (SGK), representatives from private industry, the Swiss National Bank, and public authorities. Set against the backdrop of the final stages of the EMU, the discussions held in Zurich offer valuable perspectives on how monetary unions impact international markets. This text serves as a significant resource for those studying international accounting, business, finance, and the evolving structure of the global economy.
