The euro at stake? The monetary union in an enlarged Europe

CESifo Economic Studies is an English language relaunch of the formerly German language ifo Studien. Vol.49, No.1, 2003 is the first issue with the new title. CESifo Economic Studies aims to bridge the gap between specialised research in economics and the interest of non-specialists. The journal combines theory and empirical research with a strong emphasis on policy issues. CESifo Economic Studies publishes contributed papers by top level academic economists which are written in a style accessible to all economists regardless of their specialisation. The primary focus of the journal is on policy problems, but it also publishes high quality, non-technical articles which are of general interest to economists.
