9A schematic assessment of the current EMU as an OCA, considering additional criteria presented by economists other than Mundell:
The EMU is quite good in terms of [blank_start]economic openness/trade integration[blank_end] (McKinnon 1963) and [blank_start]diversification production/consumption[blank_end] (Kenen 1969).
Although it is a condition to enter the EMU, it is lacking [blank_start]similarities of inflation rates[blank_end] (Fleming 1971) and requires further [blank_start]financial market integration[blank_end] (Ingram 1962) which did not work as expected.
Finally it is hindered by a very low level of [blank_start]political integration[blank_end] (Mintz 1970) and [blank_start]compatibility in preferences[blank_end] (Tower and Willet 1976) as well as a [blank_start]non-existent fiscal integration[blank_end] (Kenen 1969).- Aeconomic openness/trade integration
- Bdiversification production/consumption
- Csimilarities of inflation rates
- Dfinancial market integration
- Epolitical integration
