ABSTRACT
This study aims to assess whether the introduction of the euro promotes systematic growth for the Eurozone. The empirical analysis is based on a natural experiment where the difference-in-differences method is applied to compare Eurozone’s growth rate with that of selected non-Eurozone economies. The major finding of the study is that there are no significant growth effects for the Eurozone emerging from the introduction of the euro.
