| Tiivistelmä: | This article investigates the impact of the adoption of the euro on the commercial transactions of EMU countries. It seeks to disentangle the effects of eliminating exchange rate volatility - and those of other policy factors that promote integration - from the influence of the emergence of the European currency union. Since EMU is relatively new phenomenon, a panel estimation of the gravity equation in a dynamic framework is used in order to capture effects like trade persistence. The main result is that the adoption of the euro has had a positive but not an exorbitant impact on bilateral trade between European countries (rating between 9 and 10 percent). |
