Alternative Title:
Calculation of the optimum currency areas theory index for the emerging EU members
Summary / Abstract:

ENThe issue of the common currency union is of current importance in Europe since the middle 20th century, when the European economical and political integration started. Economic and Monetary union (EMU) become larger due to the new members represented by the emerging EU members, who joined EU since 2004. Currently there are 13 emerging EU members and 6 of them have already joined EMU. The goal of the study is to evaluate and define to which emerging EU members the entrance to the EMU is more economically advantageous. As a possible scientific method to evaluate country's readiness to join EMU is optimum currency areas (OCA) theory index. OCA is a geographical region where common currency or fixed exchange rate is used. OCA index is formed using OCA theory criteria with help of which it is possible to evaluate country's readiness to join OCA. In result of the study the author has concluded that the OCA index is widely used in the EMU analysis, despite of the differences between EMU and OCA model. The analysis of OCA index showed that OCA index provided by Skorepa used for the emerging EU members could be inefficient and lead to the wrong results. OCA index provided by Skorepa should be modified and should take into account specific character of the emerging EU members economy. Key words: Economic and monetary union, emerging EU members, monetary integration, optimum currency areas theory, optimum currency areas index.
