Kronberger,
R. (2002), A Cost-Benefit Analysis of a Monetary Union for Mercosur
with particular emphasis on the Optimum Currency Area Theory,
Integration & Trade N° 16, INTAL - Inter-American
Development Bank, Buenos Aires
Potential costs and benefits of a monetary union for the four MERCOSUR
countries Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay are compared..
Particular emphasis was put on the traditional and new approaches to
optimum currency area theory which were reviewed and analyzed with
respect to their validity for less developed economies. Based on these
insights 6 theses have been developed and thereafter were tested
empirically, as far as empirical material was available. Evidently
MERCOSUR will not start negotiating a treaty on a MERCOSUR monetary
union à la Maastricht tomorrow. The necessary institutional
framework is de facto non-existent. Further the member countries have
shown little willingness of monetary cooperation in the past.
Nonetheless, the creation of a single MERCOSUR currency could serve as
political lubricant for deepening integration. Such a deepening of the
integration process could go hand in hand with sound and coordinated
macroeconomic management which in turn could lead to more stability and
increased credibility in the region. |

Mahlberg,
B./Kronberger, R. (2002), Eastern Enlargement of the European Monetary
Union Seen from an Optimal Currency Area Theory, in: Breuss, F./Fink,
G./Griller, Economic and Monetary Union – Economic, Legal and
Institutional Framework, Schriftenreihe des Institutes für
Europafragen, Springer, Wien/New York
In this paper we have discussed whether the CEEC could be part of a
European Optimal Currency Area (OCA) with the current member states of
the European Union (EU). This would mean increased economic benefits
from joining the European Monetary Union (EMU). Criteria derived from
OCA theory can be used to determine whether a group of countries may
benefit from forming a monetary union. One of the OCA criteria is the
similarity of business cycles among the participating countries.
Therefore this paper extracted business cycles for the CEEC from Gross
Domestic Eastern Enlargement of the European Monetary Union 273 Product
(GDP) and Industrial Production (IP) time series data and computed the
respective cross correlation coefficients with that of the EU member
states. The results have been interpreted in the light of the
OCA-theory. |

Kronberger, R. (2006), Some Insights
on the Link between the Public Sector and Economic Growth and
International Trade and Economic Growth in: Beer, C./ Janger, J./
Stiglbauer, A. (Hrsg.) Strategies for Employment and Growth, March 3,
2006, Proceedings of Workshop Nr. 10, Vienna.
This comment will focus on some public sector issues such as fiscal
federal relations, budgeting procedures and taxes affecting the supply
side. The link between trade and growth has not been mentioned at all.
This link will be discussed shortly which will provide the basis for
the identification of further necessary applied research in this field. |

Kronberger,
R.(2011), Comment on the Swedish Fiscal Policy Council, the
High
Council of Finance in Belgium and the Austrian Government Debt
Committee, Wirtschaftspolitische Blätter, 1/2011, Manz Verlag,
Wien.
The
Swedish Fiscal Policy Council, the High Council of Finance in Belgium
and the Austrian Government Debt Committee differ in structure, tasks
and history. The interplay between the national fiscal councils and
other national institutions deserve a further look. As a consequence of
the changing European framework – new economic governance
rules and new
procedures – the national fiscal councils will have to
redefine their
roles. Finally, assessing the effectiveness of heterogeneous national
fiscal councils is methodologically challenging. A first short attempt
on assessing the effectiveness of the Austrian Government Debt
Committee delivers mixedresults.
