Shocks to New and Old Europe: How Symmetric?

Strong symmetry of shocks allows for the formation of a monetary union with low costs due to losing monetary sovereignty. I employ vector autoregression to identify structural shocks and study their symmetry through time. I find that the underlying structural shocks have not changed significantly and remain rather asymmetric, particularly demand shocks. Copyright (c) 2009 The Author(s).
