Currency and Competitiveness in Europe

Edited by Klaus Liebscher, Governor, Oesterreichische Nationalbank, Josef Christl, Managing Director, Macro-Consult e. U., Peter Mooslechner, formerly Oesterreichische Nationalbank and Doris Ritzberger-Grünwald, Director, Oesterreichische Nationalbank, Austria

This book combines currency matters with competitiveness considerations, with a view to raising the understanding of exchange rate dynamics and to analysing the role of exchange rates in reinforcing economic competitiveness.

‘Competitiveness is a notoriously slippery concept. This volume, featuring a galaxy of economic stars, lends some much-needed precision to the term and the debate over its determinants.’
– Barry Eichengreen, University of California, Berkeley, US
