Towards a More Optimal Eurozone

This student project supported by CIVICA aims to produce a report evaluating the performance of the monetary union since its creation.

The Euro, currently in its third decade, has survived the dramatic European sovereign debt crisis and has been adopted by 19 EU members. The eurozone faces numerous challenges - most importantly perhaps, due to how, in the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), the “economic” part compares to the “monetary.” The report will evaluate how well the weaknesses of the eurozone have been mitigated, and what gaps remain.

The project is initiated by Guillaume Marder (undergraduate student, Sciences Po) and Rasmus Salén (undegraduate student, SSE), who have met during the first CIVICA European Week. Guillaume and Rasmus invite students from various social science backgrounds to contribute to this project.

The project is supported by Prof. David Domeij, Head of the Department of Economics at the Stockholm School of Economics, who will provide academic guidance.
