Acute Illness And Job Lock, Lauren Passero
Acute Illness And Job Lock, Lauren Passero

The sovereign debt crisis revealed inherent fragility in the EMU. In light of recent populist movements, the common currency is under unprecedented scrutiny. This study seeks to assess the euro effect on exports for a clearly distinguished EMU core …
